In a few short weeks, Jeremy Myntti will be leaving Backstage Library Works to pursue a career at University of Utah. Jeremy has accepted a position as Head of Cataloging & Metadata Services at the University Library.

Jeremy has been employed at Backstage for nearly nine years, working his way through a good collection of depts. For the last three years Jeremy has been a part of our Automation Services team, specifically lending his expertise and knowledge as one of our Authority Control project managers. His strong background in technical services helped us get creative when it came to deriving solutions for our customers. We will miss him … as well as his extreme devotion to all things Disneyland.

As part of his transition out of the company, Jeremy will be helping to train his replacement. We have selected Stephanie Hansen to step into the role of serving our Authority Control customers and moving forward with our dept. Stephanie comes to us with an excellent background in cataloging at Backstage, with a keen eye towards details. Stephanie was also part of the original crew that participated in the RDA test back in late 2010, and we welcome her fresh take on our services.

P.S. I keep promising to send another update about our RDA services, specifically regarding the 33X field additions (Content, Media, Carrier)—it’s still coming! I had planned to start the dialogue for that later today, but to keep it separate from this post.

Best regards,

Nate
