Kimberley Barker Kimberley Barker

Kimberley Barker is the University of Virginia's (UVa's) Claude Moore Health Sciences Library's manager for technology education and computing (a title that, while not as cool as Jedi master or pirate queen, is still pretty exciting). An all-around library enthusiast, Barker began her career as a paraprofessional in a public library. After receiving her master's of library and information science degree from the University of South Carolina in 1999, she went on to work at academic and school libraries, specializing in creating fun and innovative outreach programs. Responsible for overseeing both staff and patron computing in the library, Barker also works to educate and inform UVA's Health System community about emerging and mobile technologies and their possible impacts on work and life. Believing that technology has the power to affect positive change, Barker strives to share that message through classes, consults, social media, and publishing in the profession.
