My role:

As Head of Library Information Technology, I provide leadership for a range of technology initiatives. My team provides support for desktop hardware and software, server administration, networking, the integrated library system, and a number of online services. I provide support for the libraries’ digital library platform and work closely with the Digital Initiatives Librarian and the AICPA/Reference Librarian on related goals. Examples of other supported services include CONTENTdm, ILLiad, SysAid, SharePoint, and Uniprint. I work closely with other departments on technology plans and coordinate technology needs including purchases for new projects. As part of this planning I regularly work with other library employees to repurpose existing office and public space for new uses. I work regularly with Campus Information Technology on authentication, networking, and other IT projects.
