As professor and Data Librarian at Montana State University, I facilitate research data management and sharing. I provide data management guidance for researchers, I manage MSU Dataset Search, and I am active in the Data Discovery Collaboration. I also organize data science computing workshops in collaboration with MSU Social Data Collection and Analysis Services.
My research examines the social and ethical issues of research data and technology. My 2024 book explores how data curation can address epistemological, ethical, and legal issues in qualitative data reuse and big social research. From 2022-2026, I was Project Director of the IMLS-funded Responsible AI in Libraries & Archives project.
