Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

My research interests primarily revolve around open issues in digital curation. In particular, I am interested in the economics of digital preservation, sustainability of digital archives and repositories and means for assessing the value of digital objects and services. In addition, I am quite fascinated with the history of digital libraries and archives.

My publications, presentations, and recent graduate-level work experience can be viewed on this site under Research.
