Ebe Kartus
Academic Libraries
Ebe is a cataloguer with around 30 years experience (so quite long in the tooth). She has a passion for resource description and wishes libraries would implement linked open data so that better visualisations could be built for our users. She has worked on a number of national and international committees including the RDA Steering Committee (RSC). She is still trying to move over more to the systems area so that she can keep an eye on how the data created by cataloguers is used. Ebe has worked in a wide variety of library environments including system vendors. She currently works in an academic library. For stress relief she potters around in her garden or reads a good book.
