Anna Malantonio

Anna is the lead developer for digital projects and the Lafayette digital repository.  Anna’s professional interests center on open-source community software development.  She actively publishes DSS development work in GitHub, thus connecting the College with the open-source community.  She liaises with the Samvera community to bring the needs and concerns of a liberal arts college library to the national conversation about open-source digital repositories.  Her work with the Samvera community means that she is also involved with the various open-source technologies upon which Samvera is built: Fedora, Apache Solr, and Blacklight.  In addition to leading efforts to develop a Samvera-based digital repository framework for the College’s digital assets, Anna partners on DSS research collaborations.  She brings an extensive background in application architecture and user interface design to projects such as the Easton Library Company Database project.
