Joseph D. Olivarez

I am a metadata librarian and information professional with experience supporting digital collections, institutional repositories, metadata creation, and resource discovery. My work has focused on organizing, describing, and improving access to information through the application of metadata standards, controlled vocabularies, and data management best practices.

My professional interests include metadata strategy, digital preservation, scholarly communication, information organization, and the ways that data and classification systems shape how knowledge is discovered and understood. I have experience working with MARC, Dublin Core, DSpace, XML/XSLT, SQL, and other tools that support the management and accessibility of digital resources.

I am seeking opportunities to apply my expertise in metadata, digital creations, repositories, information management, and research support while continuing to grow as an information professional.
