Have MacBook Pro, Will Travel

As a Senior Program Officer at RLG Programs, part of the Programs and Research division of OCLC, I work on a number of programs and projects to help our partners maximize their impact and effectiveness for their respective insititutions.

At my former employer, the California Digital Library, I was instrumental in the development and deployment of the eScholarship Repository and the eScholarship Editions publishing services. I also managed the Metasearch Infrastructure Project.

Prior to joining the CDL, I created and managed the Berkeley Digital Library SunSITE for the UC Berkeley Library, a digital library and support service for digital library developers. The Digital Library SunSITE was the incubation ground for The Librarian's Index to the Internet, KidsClick!, and Swish-e. Other services such as Libweb did not begin there, but were supported for a number of years there. Since the UC Berkeley Library is dismantling the SunSITE, I have rescued the Jack London Collection by moving it to a server at Sonoma State University, and the Online Medieval and Classical Library by moving it to my personal server.
