• Electronic Resources Librarian

  • Sep 2012 - Present

  I promote digital literacy in Washington County by designing and teaching instructional courses to the public. I improve delivery of digital library services, both by introducing new library technology to the public and to WCPL and by better utilizing existing technology in library workflows. Other skills and responsibilities include: website optimization, programming in HTML and CSS, social media, software and hardware installation, long-term technology planning, reference services, and collection management. My professional interests include user experience, intellectual freedom, and open source software. In addition to being the social media manager for WCPL, I am the primary technical services liaison representing WCPL in Holston Associated Libraries and the systems administrator for the Innovative Sierra ILS.
