Welcome

How effectively users can discover digitized information is one of the most critical areas in librarianship. I work on the user interface design of discovery tools, optimization of search algorithms, and the ability to query heterogeneous data sources through a single interface — focusing not just on storing information, but on enabling its meaningful discovery.

I professionally manage the lifecycle of databases, e-books and e-journals that constitute a large share of modern library budgets and usage. I develop collection strategies through e-resource licensing processes, access protocols (proxy, Shibboleth, etc.) and usage statistics analysis.

I believe scientific outputs should be seen not merely as publications but as reusable datasets. I develop projects around building the Open Science ecosystem, managing institutional academic repositories, and standardizing research data in accordance with FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. Removing barriers to information and democratizing scholarly communication are among my core interests.

I closely follow Linked Data technologies to ensure library data becomes part of the web rather than being confined to library catalogs. I conduct technical work on converting bibliographic records (MARC, RDA) to semantic web standards (Bibframe, Schema.org) and making library metadata interpretable by search engines like Google.
