MIT Libraries
Senior Systems Librarian
Cambridge MA
I have worked in library automation for my entire career, on both sides of the library/vendor equation, deploying a diverse array of systems in academic libraries, including major vendor systems and an increasing variety of open source systems and applications.

As a Product Owner for the FOLIO project (http://folio.org) I work with SIGs, subject matter experts, designers and developers to define requirements, write user stories and assist in the advancement of the FOLIO project - an international effort to develop an open-source Library Services Platform.
