Head of Library Services
ISKME / OER Commons
Peter is the head of Library Services for ISKME. There, he's responsible for guiding the growth of collections of open educational resources (OER) on OER Commons, supporting their partners in education with curation and library expertise, and helping ISKME's research team when needed and appropriate. His involvement with generative AI in a library context started with using it as a tool to help write code when working with large datasets, and led to experimenting with generative AI as a tool in creating and maintaining metadata. As the de facto "AI person" at his workplace, he tracks developments in the space as they happen and shares that knowledge with others -- which is driven by a personal interest in sociotechnology and information ethics. He is also co-chair of ALA Core's AI & Machine Learning Interest Group. Prior to librarianship, he worked in the US Navy as an intelligence analyst and speaks English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and his French is a work in progress.
