John George
John works towards holistic digital asset management solutions that serve users. He likes to look at a system from the 30,000 foot view, see how it interacts with other systems, and make sure it will benefit all. His goal is to serve the front-line users, and to make it quick and easy for people to find resources they are looking for.
John has worked on electronic collections for museums, academic libraries, and corporations, implementing software, developing metadata and taxonomy, and establishing governance policies. In every instance, John works to make assets easily findable, ensuring that they are fully cataloged, that the metadata structure supports the client's and their users' needs, and that search is properly configured. He also has a strong understanding of the role of permissions, and knows that usage, and licensing information must be clear and complete.

John's favorite reading memory is of being given Where the Wild Things Are as a child. He now gifts new parents with Sendak's Nutshell Library, and has permanently etched Chicken Soup with Rice into his daughter's subconscious.
