HSLIC is thrilled to welcome our newest faculty member, Danielle Maurici-Pollock, as our Research Data Specialist. Danielle is a distinguished expert in the field of information science and research data management and joins us from the Simmons University School of Library and Information Science in Boston, MA. Prior to her time at Simmons, Danielle was engaged at Sandia National Laboratories. This return to New Mexico represents both a homecoming and a new opportunity for Danielle.
Danielle is uniquely qualified to lead HSLIC’s initiatives in the realm of research data. She has a keen interest in research data management, innovation adoption, and working with diverse communities. Her appointment comes at a critical time as HSLIC aims to develop and expand our research data services.
She has an impressive record of scholarly publications and presentations on data-related topics, including scientific data-sharing, the role of open scientific data in emerging research communities, libraries' adoption of research data services, and the adoption of RDM curricula in Master of Information Science programs.
Danielle’s scholarly work also extends to information technology adoption in health care and tribal libraries, the development of digital infrastructure, information technology instruction, design justice, and library services to underserved populations. Danielle received her Master's degree in Information Science from the University of Missouri and a Ph.D. in Information and Communication from the University of Tennessee.
In addition to her passion for research and innovation, Danielle enjoys reading, cooking and baking, spending time with her two cats, and is looking forward to once more becoming an active participant in Albuquerque’s local science fiction community.
Please join us in welcoming our newest faculty member. We are excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities for growth and discovery she brings to HSLIC and the UNM HSC.
