Emily Brennan, Metadata Specialist, is a librarian at Rocky Vista University, where she supports healthcare education through outreach initiatives and metadata-driven documentation projects. She earned her M.S.L.S in 2024, following a BA in English Literature from San Diego State University in 2020. Emily works with the Ukrainian Libraries in Wartime initiative to create high-quality metadata for digital projects. Her most recent work includes developing a survey for Ukrainian libraries to collect enhanced metadata and witness statements documenting damage to library infrastructure. She is currently collaborating with project members to research the history of war crimes and global war crimes prosecution to better understand the documentation efforts and support the identification of long-term solutions. Emily’s long-term goal is to contribute to scholarship that bridges theory and practice by examining how information professionals can strengthen public trust and resilience. She hopes to pursue an academic career that allows her to teach, research, and advocate for information ethics and equity on both local and global scales.
