Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Edwards is a tenured systems and e-resources librarian in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience designing, integrating, and maintaining library technology platforms for higher education and cultural institutions. He has led implementations of major systems including Alma, Rosetta, ArchivesSpace, and a new Library Services Platform while combining hands-on skills in Oracle, PeopleSoft, shell scripting, and server administration. His background spans both academic and special library environments—from Getty Research Institute workflows and analytics to college ILS administration—so he excels at metadata transformation, interoperability, and troubleshooting complex access issues. With advanced study in digital libraries from Illinois and an MLIS from San Jose State, he brings a hybrid perspective that blends systems engineering with user-focused library services. A practical problem-solver, he’s equally comfortable writing scripts to automate tasks as coordinating cross-departmental deployments and vendor integrations.
