Christine is the Library’s new Metadata Librarian in the Technical Services and Systems Department at Van Wylen. As the Metadata Librarian, Christine will connect users with both print and digital collections using emerging metadata standards and traditional cataloging.
Some of Christine’s responsibilities will include creating descriptive and subject access to print, media, and digital materials using current cataloging and metadata standards; providing guidance on cataloging and metadata procedures; and implementing new workflows in response to the Library’s needs. In addition, Christine will serve as the library representative to the Communications and IDS departments.
Christine comes to us from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she worked as a Cataloging and Metadata Projects Specialist. Christine received her BA degree from the University of California, San Diego and her Master of Science in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
