Digital Conversion Production Manager
Digital Content and Collections · Library Information TechnologyAbout me
I joined U-M Library in 2008 as the Digital Conversion Production Manager. My role centers on managing the digitization of book, audio, and moving image projects for the Digital Conversion Unit, both inhouse and vended projects. If you have a collection that you want to digitize or are looking at digitization equipment and don't know what to consider, feel free to contact me.
My current committee memberships include: Audio/Moving Image Digitization Team (chair), Digital Content & Collections Content Triage (member), Digital Library Federation / Costs Assessment Working Group - Insourcing vs Outsourcing (chair) and Vendor Registry (member) subgroups, Digital Preservation Steering Committee (member), Librarians Forum Board (vice-secretary), LIT Coordinating Group (member), and LIT DEIA Team (chair). I am also a member of the LEO-GLAM union.
I have a master's degree in Art History, a bachelor's degree in Art, and for a short period, I was even a graphic designer.
