Biographical Statement
Angela Stanley is Director of Georgia HomePLACE, which, in partnership with the Digital Library of Georgia, offers preservation consultations, scanning equipment, training, and digital project management. Prior to joining the Georgia Public Library Service in 2016, Stanley was Head of Archives and Special Collections at the Athens Regional Library System in Athens, Georgia. She began her career at the New York Public Library in 2008 while working toward her MLIS (2010) from Queens College, CUNY. Stanley currently serves PLASC as an at-large member and as Program Committee Chair for the Society of Georgia Archivists. She has been a member of SAA since 2010 and is a certified Digital Archives Specialist.
Candidate Statement
Recognizing that working in public library archives and special collections is an important and rewarding experience--but professionally it can sometimes feel like no one who quite understands--Stanley believes that the newly re-energized PLASC section has the opportunity to offer member-driven support, including professional development training, best practices, and a much-needed virtual community of practice.
Biographical Statement
Suzanne Im recently is the Metadata Librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library's Digitization and Special Collections department. She has worked in various public service and technical services capacities in public and academic libraries. Suzanne previously served as Secretary Pro Tempore for the Librarians' Association of the University of California at Santa Barbara during her time as Library Resident at the UCSB Library. She hopes to transfer these skills to Secretary of the Public Archives/Special Collections Roundtable.
Candidate Statement
As a newer member of the Society of American Archivists, I want to become involved and enable my colleagues expand their professional knowledge and network. I will put my communication and organizational skills to good use as I record and distribute the minutes and agendas of the Steering Committee and prepare the annual report with the Chair. I have been a professional librarian for six years after working my way up from humble beginnings as a Library Technician. My experience working in special collections in both the academic and public arena has given me insight into the unique challenges these institutions face. I look forward to being a more active part of the future direction of PLASC as a voting member of the section.
