Jason Puckett is Communication and Computer Science Librarian, Librarian for Virtual Services, and Assistant Professor, at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He’s worked in libraries for over twenty years. He was a Library Journal Mover and Shaker for 2010 for his work with technology in libraries.
He’s written about digital rights management, open source and open access issues in libraries, and is working on the second edition of Zotero: A Guide for Librarians, Researchers and Educators, coming from ACRL Publications this year.
Jason’s most recent book, Modern Pathfinders: Creating Better Research Guides, explores how ideas from user experience web design and learning theory can help librarians make online guides more effective and easier to use.
Jason’s keynote presentation will focus on the design of effective and user-friendly research guides for the web.
