Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer E is an experienced metadata librarian with a decade of hands-on expertise designing, managing, and improving metadata workflows across academic libraries. She specializes in standards-driven cataloging (MARC21, RDA, MODS, METS, Dublin Core) and practical tooling (MarcEdit, OpenRefine, PyMarc, XML/XSL, JSON, SQL) to boost discoverability in ILS/LSP environments like Alma and FOLIO. At UMass Amherst she leads batch services and consortial loads, pairing operational rigor with agile project management, documentation, and stakeholder communication to ensure sustainable data pipelines. Jennifer has supervised teams and coordinated cross-campus implementations, and her background in philosophy and research data work gives her a strong analytic bent for solving complex metadata problems. Known internally as a “metadata explorer,” she balances curiosity-driven experimentation with pragmatic caretaking—making large-scale batch processes reliable and maintainable.
