Tom has an analytical mind and can coalesce a large number of complex or undefined variables into a manageable plan. He is capable of executing these plans, iterating when and where necessary, and of reflecting on outcomes as a method of improving for the future. For example, when Tom was my intern I tasked him with a project to develop a categorization schema for a collection of 1,200 physical items with a large degree of implicit and explicit metadata. He analyzed our holdings, developed a serialization system and metadata schema, implemented it, and then built out our enterprise content management system to support it. This system works well and enabled us to utilize previously lost or miscategorized assets. Tom’s education and experience mark him as a strong information science professional.
