Kate Deibel
Katherine "Kate" Deibel has had a varied career in academia working within and across many disciplines, including computer science, education, disability, comics, digital literacies, and libraries. After transitioning in her first year of graduate school, she earned her PhD in computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in 2011 with a multidisciplinary study of the social and technological factors that hinder adoption of reading technologies among adults with dyslexia. As an ardent advocate for usable and accessible technologies, she works and educates to ensure that library technologies are effective tools for both library patrons and staff. Having worked in library technologies at the University of Washington and Syracuse University Libraries, she now is the systems librarian at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, spearheading their adoption of open library systems such as FOLIO and VuFind.
