Presentations & Invited Lectures

I love to discuss the work I do with colleagues around the world. I regularly present at conferences of organizations including the International Internet Preservation Consortium, National Digital Stewardship Alliance, Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, and Music Library Association.

I have been invited to speak about the intersections of information science and the performing arts by institutions including the Center for Digital Culture and Society at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Maryland School of Information Science, National League of American Pen Women, and National Philharmonic Chamber Music Series.
