Robin Ruggaber
University of Virginia Library, Director for Strategic Technology Partnerships & Initiatives
At the University of Virginia (UVA), I work as the Director for Strategic Technology Partnerships & Initiatives within the Library. This position affords me the time and opportunity to work at an international level with community driven open source, preservation, accessibility, open access initiatives. I also work across my institution and within my organization as a technology advisor, consultant, project manager, and a mentor. I have 29 years working in technology at UVA with 20 years in IT management. The UVA Library was a founding member of Samvera and in 2010, I began working with the Library to leverage Samvera to build our first institution repository. Within Samvera, I have served in governance (2011-2019), community building, training, worked to establish the interest group/working group framework, and worked within that framework to further the community’s priority work. I think the community is at an inflection point and I am excited about the opportunity to work with the community and the board to take the community and the technology to the next level.
