LITA Listening Tour Episode 2: Ken Varnum

As part of my campaign for LITA Board, I’m interviewing a wide range of LITAns about their involvement with the association. Today’s interviewee is Ken Varnum.

About Ken Varnum

Ken Varnum is the Web Systems Manager at the University of Michigan Library, where he manages the library web site and development of new features and functionality. He received a masters degree from the University of Michigan’s School of Information and his Bachelor of Arts from Grinnell College.

He led the University of Michigan’s implementation of Summon using the Summon API in a Drupal site in 2010. An active member of the library technology world for 18 years, Ken’s research and professional interests range from Drupal and site redesign to user-generated content.
