Awaiting information by June 14thAssistant Director of Resource Management and Repository Services at Tisch Library, Tufts University
I enthusiastically put my name forward to serve as a member of the Samvera Steering Group. I am the Assistant Director of Resource Management and Repository Services at Tisch Library, Tufts University. We have been a Partner (first Hydra, then Samvera) since 2014. I am also a member of the Samvera Marketing Working Group.
I have worked at Tufts since 2008, and in that time have devoted much of my time and energy to building the collaborative network necessary to establish a digital library presence for Tisch Library. I have partnered with colleagues across Tufts Libraries and Archives, and Tufts Technology Services to build a common infrastructure and establish metadata best practices for managing digital content.
I would bring to the Steering Group a collaborative spirit and experience working with librarians, archivists, technologists and other stakeholders to support the development, maintenance and growth of digital libraries.
The pandemic has brought great uncertainty to our lives and our work. As the Community moves forward, the role of the Steering Group in providing support and continuity for the Community will be more important than ever. It would be a privilege to be able to lend my knowledge and experience to help provide that support in the years ahead.
I am honored to run for a seat on the Steering Committee and look forward to working with the Community on shared commitments and challenges.
