Peter Murray is an open source community advocate and technologist who bridges librarianship and systems analysis to help libraries adopt modern, interoperable technologies. With 13 years of focused experience and over two decades in higher-education libraries, he specializes in digital object repositories (Islandora, Fedora), identity management (Shibboleth), JPEG 2000, and metadata standards. At Index Data he cultivates collaboration across libraries, vendors, and the FOLIO community, recruiting and mentoring contributors while shaping project strategy. His background as a librarian-turned-systems analyst gives him a rare fluency in both domain-specific metadata needs and the networking/technical solutions that satisfy them. Based in Dublin, Ohio, he also contributes to standards work at NISO and editorial efforts for Code4Lib, quietly influencing discovery and preservation practices across the sector.
