Hi, I’m Jeff Barry (@jeffbarry<\/a>), an Associate Professor and Library Technology Developer at Washington and Lee University, where I am a founding member of the Digital Culture and Information minor<\/a> and the Data Science minor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As co-director of a five-year $800,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation (2015 – 2020), I strengthened the library’s role in digital humanities at W&L<\/a>. Over the last several years, I’ve also taught courses on Digital Humanities, Multimedia Storytelling Design, Innovations in Publishing, Web Programming for Non-Programmers, Virtual Reality, Information Sources in the Digital Age, the Opioid Crisis, and first-year writing for college students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2000 – 2005, I led digital library initiatives at the University of Miami and served as the PI on a $1M grant to digitize the Cuban Heritage Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve worked with Internet technologies since 1990. I’ve also held faculty positions as a librarian specializing in technology management and digital libraries at the University of Tennessee (1993 – 1995), Old Dominion University (1995 – 2000), and Seton Hall University (2013). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2005, I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina and shifted my emphasis to entrepreneurship & software development while running a design studio focused on print, mobile and web development. My software focus for several years was iOS for iPhone & iPad. I devoted all of 2010-2012 to iOS app development<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013 my focus shifted back to academic libraries and collaborating with faculty on digital initiatives. During the pandemic, I renewed an enthusiasm for game design and started working on game development project utilizing Unreal Engine with my 11 year-old daughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the advances in Artificial Intelligence, I find myself pulled towards teaching and exploring the impact of AI during the 21st Century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way of getting a sense as to what I’m passionate about is to read a post I wrote a decade ago: Storytelling in the mid-century<\/a> . And the term Endless Hybrids? That’s from Manovich’s The Language of New Media<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
