An excerpt from her bio reads "Fobazi Ettarh’s research is concerned with the relationships and tensions between the espoused values of librarianship and the realities present in the experiences of marginalized librarians and library users. In 2018, she coined the term and defined the concept of 'vocational awe,' which describe, 'the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in beliefs that libraries as institutions are inherently good and sacred, and therefore beyond critique.' In her article [https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/ 'Vocational Awe: The Lies We Tell Ourselves,'] she describes how vocational awe can be reached at lead to burnout and a sense that one’s own self-care is less important than the work being done. Although written before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ettarh’s words have resonated with many library workers throughout the nation in the current moment, as we strive to serve our patrons and our profession as best we can amidst the competing demands of home, work, and health. Her research has been covered in numerous outlets and she consults in library and corporate contexts on labor, identity, and diversity. She is also the creator of the open-access video game Killing Me Softly: A Game About Microaggressions."

With a background in computer science and mathematics, he wrote open source BSD Unix tools that come pre-installed with Mac and Linux systems. For the past 25 years he has been working on cross-domain issues with libraries, archives, museums, and data centers. He created the ARK (Archival Resource Key) persistent identifier scheme (a non-paywalled alternative to the DOI and Handle systems) and the N2T.net scheme-agnostic resolver (a global ARK resolver, that also resolves hundreds of identifier schemes). Since 2001, 8.2 billion ARKs have been created by over 1400 organizations, including 10 national libraries, 185 universities, 209 archives, 104 museums, and 101 journals. He also contributed heavily to the first standards for URLs (RFC1736, RFC1625, RFC2056), library search and retrieval (Z39.50), archival transfer (BagIt - RFC8493), web archiving (WARC), and Dublin Core metadata (RFC2413, RFC2731, ANSI/NISO Z39.85). His specs and tools for repository microservices -- Pairtree, Namaste, ReDD, oxum, ERC/ANVL, TEMPER, THUMP -- may be found in such places as the HathiTrust and OCFL. Follow-on work in metadata includes creation of the Dublin Kernel and yamz.net. His current professional focus is with the ARK Alliance (arks.org). * [https://jkunze.net jkunze.net]* [https://arks.org arks.org]* [https://yamz.net yamz.net]* [https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7604-8041 ORCID]* [mailto:jakkbl@craphoundgmail.comemail] ==Timnit Gebru==
