I am a retired Librarian who also worked for many years in IT and network administration. I now do unpaid volunteer work in digital libraries, archives and special collections including scanning, cataloging and metadata, digital library and digital collection planning, archival processing and administration, Wikipedia and GLAM work, digital humanities projects and other services that may be needed.
As part of my former professional work as a librarian at Temple University and a Director of Library Services for Hosting Solutions and Library Consulting (HSLC) in Philadelphia, I was a team member for PA Digital, the Pennsylvania service hub of the Digital Public Library of America.
