I direct Rice University's Digital Media Center, where I help manage digital library projects, develop training materials on using and creating digital resources, run a digital media lab, and pitch in with whatever else needs to be done. I have spoken or written about a range of topics, including open repositories, digital scholarship, emerging technologies in education, the significance of video databases for learning, using the web for research, and more.

I am a Research and Development Librarian at the University of Virginia. I am the project lead on Blacklight, an open source library catalog (a.k.a. OPAC). I also develop custom software for faculty research projects, and I am a technical consultant for eIFL-FOSS, a non-profit organization working to promote the use of open source for libraries in the developing world. I am available to speak on any of these subjects.
