SARAH ALLIS and KILEY JOLICOEUR recently joined Syracuse University Libraries’ new Department of Digital Stewardship.

Allis accepted the newly created role of content coordinator, where she will maintain digital content in the libraries’ various digital repositories, including SURFACE and Digital Collections. She transitioned to her new role after working for more than 10 years in the Department of Learning and Academic Engagement. Prior to that, Allis spent six years working on the digital library at Penn State University Libraries. She has a bachelor’s degree in architecture and a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Jolicoeur accepted the position of metadata-strategies librarian, where she will steward the metadata for digital collections, including the creation of new metadata, remediation of legacy metadata, and the designing of application profiles across collections and platforms. Prior to this role, she worked as a graduate assistant for Syracuse University Libraries’ Department of Digital Stewardship, building skills and a deep understanding of the metadata used with its existing digital collections. As a graduate assistant, Jolicoeur was instrumental in the early phase of the libraries’ migration to a new digital-object management system and has experience with SURFACE, the Libraries’ institutional repository. Jolicoeur received her master’s degree in library and information science degree from Syracuse University and her dual bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and classics from Sweet Briar College in Virginia.
