Library 2.0 and beyond….

‘This is a blog about Library 2.0. Meaning:  developments in new internet technologies that are of importance to libraries.’ That was the original introduction to this blog. In January 2015 I got rid of the “Library 2.0” buzzword and replaced it with “Data. The final frontier”. Because that’s exactly what it should be all about in libraries.

Until August 1, 2021,  I worked as Digital Infrastructure Coordinator at the Library of the University of Amsterdam. Before that I was Library Systems Coordinator (until early 2019), and before that (until April 2010) I was Head of the Library Systems Department. I was responsible for advancing the library data and information infrastructure and architecture.

I am currently available for infrastructure, data (linked and open) and digital heritage projects for LAM institutions.

I have been a member of the ELAG Annual Conference Programme Committee since 2012.

Between 2008 and 2016 I have held a number of positions in IGeLU, the International Group of Ex Libris Users.

From September 2015 until 2018 I was Deputy Coordinator of the IGeLU/ELUNA Interoperability Special Interest Working Group.

Between September 2012 and September 2013 I was acting as Coordinator of the Linked Open Data Special Interest Working Group of IGeLU/ELUNA.

Between September 2008 and September 2012 I have been a member of the IGeLU Steering Committee. From 2006 until 2008 I have been acting as Coordinator of the IGeLU MetaLib Product Working Group.
