Library Experience
Library Technician, Juneau Public Library
May 2005-Sept. 2009
My time at JPL was priceless, providing the opportunity for me to put the skills developed during library school into practice while simultaneously exploring creative programming and technology projects that I hope to take with me as I continue my career in libraries. From intuitive, user-centered reference service to A/V support, podcasting and blogging, this position allowed me to explore my interests while developing important public service and technology experience.
Temporary Reference Librarian, Egan Library, University of Alaska Southeast
Jan.-Sept. 2009
The Egan Library served as my introduction to the academic library as a librarian. While I have spent extensive time in the outstanding libraries of the University of Michigan and elsewhere, this opportunity allowed me to develop a familiarity with the physical collections of the library in contrast to the experience with e-resources my graduate school years inspired.
Information Consultant, Self Employed contracting with Alaska State Library
In cooperation with Library staff, describe historical photographs to be uploaded to the Alaska Digital Archive (http://vilda.alaska.edu/) database using Dublin Core, LCSH and local name authority schema in CONTENTdm environment. Using Photoshop CS4, edit document scans and images then create digital objects (PDFs) for in house and outside clients.
Portfolio
A sample of some of my projects.
Letters From the North
Writer, Editor, Producer, Web
We billed ourselves as an audio quarterly and managed to finish our 4th show before parting ways. This was an incredible project that got me very excited about radio journalism and about production work. Despite all the long hours, these shows give me the goosebumps. Check out the archives to listen to the shows. I’m especially proud of the 3rd show, “Work”, and my piece that came out of an interview with Juneau musician/housepainter, Buddy Tabor (scroll to 18:32).
Get Digital: Uncrate Your Vinyl
Developer, Instructor
This free hands-on workshop provided instruction to users of all experience levels how to convert analog audio collections to digital using on-hand stereo equipment and a PC. I developed the course from my production experience working with archival reel to reel tape, LPs and podcasting. The presentation slides from the workshop as well as several web-based resources are available in this blog post.
JPL Podcasts
Administrator, live-event sound engineer, producer
JPL Podcasts is the home for archived audio content published by the Juneau Public Library. Features audio from in-library events (author visits, workshops, storytime) as well as weekly book reviews, technology tips for using library and web resources and more.
A few of the better podcasts:
National Poetry Month, 09
The Stinky Princess
John Straley: Poetry, Prose and Private Investigation
Come Una Pietra Scalciata
Writer, director, editor
A spoof music video inspired by Dylan’s original “Subterrenean Homesick Blues”. Ours uses an Italian remake of “Like a Rolling Stone”. Created for the JUMP Film Festival.
Selected Writing
Olson’s Fox Island Cabin: Resurrection Bay’s 1st Writer’s Residency
from: 49 Writers: Collaborative reflections and book news by and about Alaskan Authors
New Poetry Review
Short reviews of 4 outstanding poetry collections to the Juneau Public Library where I perform a variety of paid functions, now adding to the list: poetry editor. This review was also published in the local paper.
Zappa and Lithuania
No, FZ isn’t Lithuanian, but I am and FZ’s and I share a common love for musical madness, that fine line where classical music, jazz and rock get together and dance in a way only a few can take seriously.
Tradesman as Poet
Two poems from a workshop exploring how an artist can combine create work with the subject of our trade, our day job.
The Music Industry, Adapting to a digital future
Highlighting some great stories/interviews during a week when I had digital rights, content management and the future of music on my mind.
Collect Raindrops
In praise of a few outstanding graphic artists and a book that altered my world with its simplicity, like only poetry had done before.
