A librarian with a passion for accessibility, a knack for technology and a flair for interior design, Emily Gore not only shapes collections on campus at the University of Georgia, she also leads international efforts for online access to knowledge.
“Broad access to content without barriers has always been a driving force for me and a core value in my career,” said Gore, deputy university librarian at UGA Libraries. “Earlier in my career, when I was working to build statewide and national digital libraries, my goal was to share content broadly and promote use and reuse of collections. That goal is just as clear now, as we build Georgia’s online assets, envision data services for faculty and expand open access publishing opportunities for UGA researchers.”
In this UGA Today article, learn about Gore's passion for building libraries in physical and digital forms, her work to expand open access publishing opportunities, and her team driving support for research data at UGA.
