Professional Pathways Speaker Series: Ashley Sands
This professional development event is going to be set up as a semi-formal conversation with students who are interested in exploring different pathways through library and information science!
Ashley Sands is a Senior Library Program Officer in the Institute of Museum and Library Services, in which she manages a portfolio of grants and funding opportunities related to scholarly communication, research data management, digital infrastructures, open science, and more. Ashley earned her MLIS and PhD in Information Studies from UCLA. Her dissertation examined astronomy data management practices to reveal the expertise and infrastructure most appropriate for maximizing the utility of scientific data. Research methods included semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis.
Professional Pathways invites a series of working professionals across library and information science to share their journey into their careers and experiences in the field! This is a career development series where students can understand the current professional landscape, and is not intended to be a career fair or employment seeking opportunity. The speakers cover a wide range of roles within library and information science, as well as information management, and as such this event is open to ALL iSchool students.
