Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Weigel is an information technology and digital library specialist with over a decade of experience managing Arca (arcabc.ca) and leading technical and coordination efforts for the BC Electronic Library Network. He blends library science (Master of Information, U of T) with practical systems work—Islandora, Drupal, digitization, and e-resources licensing—to deliver preservation-ready repositories and user-centered discovery. At Simon Fraser University and BC ELN he combines project management and hands-on technical leadership, shepherding complex digitization and access initiatives from requirements to deployment. Known for bridging traditional librarianship (rare books, reference, collection development) with modern open-source repository tooling, he brings pragmatic solutions that improve engagement and long-term information stewardship. An understated strength is his track record coordinating cross-institutional efforts, making him effective at scaling shared services across academic and public library networks.
