Just before PHAIDRAcon, October 29, we dive into the topic of digital and data sovereignty. This episode features Rosalyn Metz (Chief Technology Officer & Associate Librarian for Digital Strategies, Emory University) and our host Rory MacDonald. They discuss The Growing Role of Technology and the Librarian in Guarding Our Shared Truth
This episode looks at the increasingly important role of librarians and cultural heritage professionals as guardians of an independent epistemic record. And, in grappling with such a timely and emotive topic, our discussion ranges inevitably dives into current geopolitics, tech giants, social media and social control.
With a perspective that combines the academic librarian, curator, technologist and open source evangelist, our guest on this journey is Rosalyn Metz. As Chief Technology Officer and Associate Librarian for Digital Strategies at Emory University in Atlanta, Metz’ role covers both the university library and its museums. Alongside this, she has helped drive community growth and leadership across numerous open source and open standards projects, including the Fedora Repository, Samvera, AP Trust and the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL).
