She lives in Salt Lake City with her partner and her cranky cat. Jay L. Colbert is the 2017-2019 Resident Librarian at the University of Utah’s J. Willard Marriott Library. Their research interests include the ethics of descriptive metadata, patron-centered technical services, and the dissonance between information need and information seeking behaviors. Their status as a resident combined with their (surprising) joy of documentation and policies informs their writing in this book. At the time of writing, they live in Salt Lake City with their suspicious bearded dragon named Coop, watching too many movies and reading too many books.
