Humans of Mac Library

Meet some of the human beings that work at the McMaster University Libraries.

Meet Jeffrey

 

Name: Jeffrey Demaine

Where do you work? 

My main role is in the Digital Scholarship Services department, and I am also a member of the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship.

What is your job title/role?

Bibliometrics and Research Impact Librarian

How long have you worked in the department / the library as a whole / this type of role?

4 months.

What do you like best about your position, department, and/or working in the library?

I love the freedom to investigate new ideas in information science, yet at the same time apply my specialized skills to solving practical problems for the university in terms of understanding how its research fits into the bigger picture.

What are 5 things you have on your Work from Home desk or in your home office space?

I have a little blue Tardis from the "Doctor Who" series. It is a USB splitter and makes the iconic 'wooshing' sound when you plug a USB into it. Although it is only about the size of a coffee mug, I am sure it is much bigger on the inside!
