My passion is helping libraries share and disseminate their knowledge, services and products with people around the world. The web is fundamental in this process and to that end my current work involves helping libraries be more visible on the web. This includes not only making their data visible but also making themselves visible on the web.

As search engines move more towards graph data as a means to fulfill the needs of users, it will be vital for libraries to use vocabularies, such as Schema.org, that are understood and consumed by search engines.

As a Software Engineer at OCLC Research, I am able to pursue this passion through working with members of the library community to build and prototype data, applications and services that help push library data and libraries themselves on the web in a meaningful way.
