Top SchoolWinona Salesky is a digital library consultant with 12 years of experience designing, building, and deploying digital collections, metadata workflows, and public access websites. She blends deep metadata expertise (EAD, MODS, MADS, DC, TEI, DDI, MARCXML) with practical engineering skills in XML, XSLT/XSL-FO, XQuery, and web technologies to create robust ingest pipelines and searchable archives using tools like Omeka, XTF and native XML databases.

Known for crosswalking and automating legacy metadata recovery, she makes complex standards interoperable while keeping user-facing usability and design front of mind. Trained as a BFA artist and an MLIS librarian, she brings a rare mix of visual sensibility and technical rigor to digital preservation projects.
