Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBeatrice Ostrowsky is a systems-minded librarian and researcher with 12+ years of experience applying software and data skills to libraries, archives, and fandom scholarship. She builds practical web tools (including a label-generating PDF app), clones and localizes REST services, and has led large migrations and tuning projects for open-source ILS platforms like Evergreen. At Ouachita Parish Public Library she pairs reference work with technology to make services more useful, and as a volunteer researcher for Fancyclopedia and the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction she has uncovered long-standing mysteries and contributed roughly 500 citation entries. Her background in ETL and data integration for higher education taught her to balance privacy-sensitive data handling with deliverable-driven design. Beyond code and systems she writes about open source and library ethics and even constructs published crossword puzzles—evidence of a curator’s eye for detail and a gift for translating “geekspeak” into plain English.
