I am the Director of Technical Services at the UM Libraries. My main responsibilities include providing guidance and strategic management to library staff for acquiring, describing, and ensuring access to materials in various formats, languages, and disciplines. I oversee the acquisition, assessment, licensing, and management of electronic resources, cataloging, metadata creation, and processing of all library materials. Additionally, I am involved in negotiating new agreements that adhere to sustainable scholarship principles, particularly in relation to open access agreements and ensuring access and discovery of both owned and leased content. I hold a Master's in Information Science, and I’m a Microsoft Certified Data Analyst Associate.
