Dear all,
It is with great pleasure that the DSpace committers group would like
to announce two new additions to the group: Jeffrey Trimble and Larry
Stone. Please join us in welcoming them!
Jeffrey Trimble is currently the Systems Librarian at Youngstown State
University in Youngstown, Ohio. His responsibilities range from
tracing network cabling under the carpet to Unix administration on
their various AIX/LINUX servers. He oversees the coordination of the
local Integrated Library System (ILS) with the statewide OhioLINK
system. Additionally, he has the primary responsibility for the three
DSpace instances at the university, including RSpace, the repurposed
DSpace software acting as an eReserve service for the library.
In the DSpace community, Jeffrey has been instrumental in improving
the DSpace documentation for release 1.6 as the "Documentation
Gardener". In an effort to weed and feed the documentation, he has
tested various components and suggests changes and specifications when
the components doesn't work as expected.
Larry began contributing to DSpace in 2005, through work on several
grant-sponsored research projects in the MIT Libraries' Technology R&D
group. Since May 2009 he has been working for Harvard University
Library as the primary architect and developer of its open-access
institutional repository, DASH (Digital Access to Scholarship at
Harvard - http://dash.harvard.edu/). Much of his work with DSpace has
been in the area of interoperability and external interfaces. He has
wide and varied interests in software development, including a
previous brush with digital libraries through a couple of Dienst
implementations and the old NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science
Technical Report Library) project.
Best wishes,
Stuart Lewis (on behalf of the DSpace committers group)
