BC Library Conference 2017

Alex Garnett is Data Curation and Digital Preservation Librarian at Simon Fraser University (SFU), where, he works on initiatives relating to the new Research Data Repository. At the Public Knowledge Project, he works on new tools for automatic typesetting and rendering of scholarly articles. He also works for the SFU Archives, where he works on on implementing digital preservation tools such as Archivematica and BitCurator. A fun party trick is to ask him how he feels about the H264 video codec and then run away before he can respond.
