“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
-Jorge Luis Borges
about
My name is Kathleen Luschek. I recently relocated to New York from Hawai‘i, where I was supporting and managing the institutional repositories, digitizing lab, website, and Open Access policy at Hamilton Library at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. I’m passionate about Open Access, surfing, cycling, reading, and travel. I have a Master’s degree in literature, am active in the Open Access scientific community, and am excited to be back on the East Coast!
