Jay Datema Joins LJ as Tech Editor

By Staff -- Library Journal, 4/1/2006

Jay Datema has joined Library Journal as technology editor, assuming responsibility for the magazine’s quarterly technology supplement netConnect as well as LJ’s technology features and columns (Online Databases, Digital Libraries). He also will oversee the LJ Tech Blog. “We’re lucky to have Jay on the LJ staff,” said Francine Fialkoff, the magazine’s editor-in-chief. “He has a strong background in technology that spans academic, public, and special libraries.” One of Datema’s first special projects will be developing a webcast on RFID.

Datema received his MLIS from Dominican University, River Forest, IL, in 1998 and expects to receive his MBA from Binghamton University, NY, this spring. He started an arts journal immediately after college and worked as a reporter while in library school. Datema was the library and editorial research director for the Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin before becoming a reference librarian and coordinator of public access computing at Cornell University’s Mann Library, Ithaca, NY.

He moved on to Ovid Technologies, New York, where, as project manager, he oversaw several new software additions to the Ovid Gateway product, including Pay Per View and the Administrative Interface. In his role as product manager, Datema wrote design requirements for online library products and supervised the interface design and development of Books@Ovid. Most recently, Datema founded Bookism, a consulting service to scientific and research libraries.
