Jenny Benevento

From GSLISWiki

Jenny is a recent graduate of the GSLIS Master's Program. Her bio page is available here. At UIUC she has worked at the Mathematics Library, ALA Archives, and the Slavic Library. She has also worked for some public libraries, small academic libraries, and a corporate library. Her family no longer goes to libraries or bookstores with her, because she has a problem leaving them (the books, not the family).

There is a rumor that she is an Enabler of Vices.

She likes Board_games and she may have a problem.

Jenny lives in NYC and works as a Vocabulary Developer. She is interested in taxonomy, vocabularies (esp. controlled ones, Folksonomy be damned!), thesauri, classification, KM, business intelligence, collection development, and science/tech librarianship. See her alphabetical subject index of mathematics for DDC 22 here
