HCL Hires Tudesco as Manager for Collection Logistics
Sarah Tudesco has joined the Harvard College Library in a new position
designed to manage HCL collection logistics. In today's data-driven
era, Tudesco's task is to comb through the multitude of numbers
driving library usage and holdings throughout all of HCL and to
help answer questions, lots of questions.
Tudesco's report-heavy role is designed to figure out the
why, where, and how of HCL's inner workings. For instance,
which patrons use which materials, and where and how are they using
them? Who uses Lamont late at night? How many patrons frequent the
Quad Library? What serials holdings are in HCL and Harvard? Tudesco's
statistical contributions will provide HCL with a better understanding
of the numbers and, by extension, the users. Ultimately, that will
translate to improved planning and allocation of resources within
HCL.
Tudesco will also play a role in the University Library's
JSTOR Dark Archive Project as HUL's Harvard Depository (HD)
works with JSTOR to assemble a complete backup print archive of
the latter's digitized scanned journal collection, stored
in HD.
Tudesco comes to HCL from the University of Massachusetts, Boston,
where she spent four years, first as systems and digital services
librarian, and more recently as assistant director of systems and
resource management. Among other things, she managed Technical Services
and coordinated library assessment activities. She also revised
the library's record-keeping system to simplify the reporting
process.
