Katie joined UK Libraries as an ARL CEP fellow in May 2009. Following her fellowship, Katie remained at
UK as a project archivist overseeing the data migration and implementation of
Archivists’ Toolkit. Katie joined the
Special Collections faculty in 2010, where she worked on a large scale access
project designed to create electronic records for archival collections, reunite
separated collections, and gain physical and intellectual control over the
archival backlog; to date Katie and her team of students and project archivists
have created over 450 electronic finding aids that can be found on Explore UK
and InfoKat as well as accessioned almost 800 backlogged collections.
In May, Katie’s role evolved to include a greater emphasis on
outreach and advocacy for Special Collections.
Katie has taken a leading role in the development and implementation of
the Special Collections Learning Lab.
This exciting new project will promote undergraduate scholarship and
creativity through students’ work with primary resources. In working on this Katie has drawn on her
experience overseeing numerous experiential learning projects for the UK School
of Library and Information Science and the student exhibit she organized last
spring ‘Special Collections as Learning Lab.’
In November Katie joins the University of Puget Sound as Archivist
and Digital Collections Coordinator. In
this role, Katie will manage all aspects of Puget Sound’s Archives and Special
Collections while integrating primary sources into the liberal arts curriculum
through teaching and creative outreach methods.
