About Me

I am the Head of Digital Research Services and the Eva Digital Research Endowed Library Professor at the University of Houston (UH) Libraries. In this role, I develop policies and workflows for the digital components of scholarly communications, including digital research support and digital repositories.

I publish and present on the assessment of digital repository metadata, software, and content reuse. You can find out more about my scholarship and speaking by exploring this website.

I currently serve as the principal investigator for the IMLS-funded Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT) grant project and as co-principal investigator for the IMLS-funded “Bridge2Hyku Toolkit: Developing Migration Strategies for Hyku” project. Previously I was the principal investigator for the IMLS-funded “Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects” grant project.
