As 'head of distributed media' I collect, preserve, and make moving image media and sound recordings accessible at the Libraries Media Center. I also oversee operations for the Media Center, serve as the primary film and video selector for the Libraries, and liaise with the Museology Program. Sometimes I teach and write on topics related to ethnomusicology, archiving, and music/film criticism (see my CV for detail). Before coming to the UW I was Archivist at the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive, a Junior Fellow at the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center, and a drummer for sundry sonic projects.
 
For students I can:
•    Recommend and find films, videos, and music for your research and learning needs.
•    Tell you about what services and audio/video resources the Libraries has to offer you.
•    Meet with you to discuss research related to ethnomusicology, NW music, film, and archives.

For faculty I can:
•    Introduce your students to the Libraries' audio/video/film collections and research tools/strategies via workshops.

•    Recommend and acquire videos, music, and other sound recordings for your research and teaching needs.
•    Work with you to publish and promote select student work on the Libraries website.
•    Offer help with funding strategies and workflows for the preservation of cultural heritage materials.
•    Speak with you about digitizing, preserving, and providing access to audio/video/film materials.
•    Act as a liaison communicating your department's concerns and needs to library administration.
•    Compile a discography or videography on a range of disciplines and topics.

For the public I can:
