About Me
I am a librarian and lawyer, advocating for copyright law that advances knowledge, research that’s available to all, and libraries where library workers and patrons can thrive.
I am the Copyright Officer and Head of the Office of Scholarly Communications and Copyright at the Penn State University Libraries. The views expressed on this site are my own. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, sewing, repairing things, and very occasionally updating the blog on this site.
