Please join us in welcoming Phil Laugher to the role of Digital Asset Technician.

Previously, Phil worked as a Library Services Assistant in the Killam performing front-line Access Services duties at the KLSP and performing Resources work, which included organizing, searching, and appraising gifts and donations and training colleagues in how to do so. Phil was also responsible for retrieving and sending MARC records for Federal and Provincial OA government documents to the Novanet Office for loading into the catalogue for the benefit of all Novanet libraries as well as for doing EBSCO serials renewals for the Killam and Sexton libraries. He also did a lot of cataloguing, including fixing or verifying name and subject authorities and upgrading subpar MARC records. We know Phil will be sorely missed by the Access Services and Resources Teams. Thanks to Gail Fraser for supplying many of these details!

In this new role, Phil will coordinate the digital collection activities across the Dal Libraries and the daily operations of the digitization facilities. He will also be digitizing and disseminating library and archival materials, training project team members, and contributing to the development of policies and technical documentation for digitization and digital collections development.

Welcome to the Archives, Phil!
