Hello! My name is Sonia, and I’m the new Digital Repository Research Assistant at cIRcle for the 2025-2026 Winter Term. I am in my third year of the dual Master of Archival Science/Master of Library and Information Studies (MAS/LIS) program at UBC’s School of Information, and I am excited to put the skills I have learned so far into practice at cIRcle! My areas of interest in the field are current and emerging library technologies, open access, and the creation of accessible user interfaces and other systems.
My work here over the next few months will include creating digital records in cIRcle, reviewing existing records for potential enhancement, and updating some of cIRcle’s content preparation guidelines. I will also be contributing to cIRcle’s content recruitment efforts towards UBC faculty. Additionally, I will be writing blog posts about interesting cIRcle content and initiatives on a regular basis, so please keep an eye out for more updates!
