"Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [1] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin"[2]--which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

"She's not a developer-type, but Joan Frye Williams has a lot of insights that she might be willing to turn towards the issues C4L discusses. They might not be what we want to hear, but sometimes that's a good thing."
"mostly because I know of few people with such a practical bent and I think it would be helpful to hear her perspective on what library coders might be able to do to help the largest number of people."
