I’m a librarian working on data management and curation, graduate education, and scholarship in the sciences and social sciences.

My personal interests include listening to records, roasting coffee, watching the great films and performances offered around campus, drinking bourbon, weightlifting, yoga, and playing a whole lot of video games.

You can check out my flickr, google plus, and playstation network profiles for fun stuff. Mendeley is my favorite citation manager.

I have profiles on academia.edu, ala connect and linkedin for the networking.

      This BoingBoing HOWTO link really caught my eye a few months ago: http://boingboing.net/2011/11/19/howto-get-a-free-stanford-comp.html Following the link gets you to several more links to the actual class sites — from computer science to anatomy to entrepreneurial technology.

      Hey everyone! Things have changed around here. It’s still a work in progress, but I wanted to write a little note with a little explanation (a little warning). I started this site when I was in grad school because I figured I’d need a place to house my web projects...

      Hi everyone! Things are busy here for the fall semester. My summer tour is over. I attended workshops, conferences, and set up site visits to some neighboring libraries to see how they run their data services. I wrote up notes for all these to share internally with my colleagues in...

      I’m thinking about this as I have a ton of stuff to do today (three-day weekend and stuff due when I get back!). I’ve never participated in a “day in the life” posting session (though I love the #libday series! I should get in on that!), so maybe today is...

      At Notre Dame, I’m on a social sciences team that’s investigating best practices for training and evaluating people who will be doing social sciences collection development and liaisonship.

      Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are two Japanese shoot ‘em up games. Both games are beautiful, but strikingly different in their implementation, commonly referred to as “minimalist” and “maximalist” shooters, respectively. Ikaruga has fairly simplistic gameplay: ships and bullets have two polarities, light and dark, and only bullets of an opposite...

      I had the good fortune of being asked to host some library-related career workshops for 11-14 year old girls at Notre Dame’s Expanding Your Horizons conference this year. It’s a career conference for young girls interested in science & mathematics (several conferences are held all around the nation), and we...
