He has over a decade of experience in higher education libraries, including eight years at members of the Association for Research Libraries (ARL), and actively participates in a wide variety of technical areas such as TCP/IP networking protocols, HTML/XHTML/XML markup, and metadata standards. Current interests involve digital object repositories, privacy, and distributed authentication/authorization systems, and JPEG 2000.
