hello

My name is Kevin.
I'm a metadata librarian at the Penn State University Libraries.
I live in State College, Pennsylvania.

I work in digital libraries, mostly as a metadata manager (obvs.), but I also do a bit of project management. I'm interested in how digital library collections are used as instructional tools and as resources for practicing public history, and how libraries can work with archives and museums to make that happen. I also like cities and urban planning, especially how neighborhoods evolve over time and how different communities interpret the same environments. I'm still trying to figure out how I can put those two things together somehow.

If you'd like, you can see my resume here.

Besides all that, I like music (playing, listening, talking about), public history, the Chicago White Sox, the Celtic Football Club, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and fancy beer.

I'm on: Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and Metafilter.

You can about any and all of the above, or if you just want to talk about Football Manager or something.

Thanks for visiting!
