Over the next week, we’ll be profiling some of the newest members of the Dalhousie Libraries staff. We start today with a profile about Jason Lee.

Jason first came to Halifax in 2006, and studied English at Saint Mary’s. He then returned to his native Korea where he complete his Master’s in Library Science degree. He spent some time working in a university library, and was a project manager for a company that builds library programs like Primo. He also worked as a program tester, user trainer, and overseas presenter for the company, travelling to Lithuania, Malaysia, and China.

Jason came back to Canada in 2012 and worked at Pier 21 as a reference assistant. During that time, he participated in Pier 21’s Welcome Home to Canada program, which gave him the opportunity work at the Killam Library for ten Wednesdays.

Last February, Jason joined the staff at the Dalhousie Libraries. He is now the evening/weekend supervisor at the Sexton Library and he will “float” among the other Dalhousie Libraries when his help is needed. In addition to supervising student assistants and all the activities at the Access Services desk, he does cataloguing and end-processing, such as barcoding and labelling books.

“I’m really happy to be back at the Dal Libraries,” says Jason. In his spare time, he enjoys exploring Halifax and the Maritimes with his wife. Jason’s spare time is short these days, though, having recently become a father; his son is three months old. Congratulations, Jason!
