Andrew Battelini is working as the metadata analyst librarian in the Metadata Services Department. Prior to this position, he worked for a year as an STI management analyst as part of the NASA Scientific & Technical Information Program in Virginia. He also worked for three years as a circulation supervisor at the Thomas Cooper Library of USC Columbia, where he was involved with a number of digitization projects, mostly grass-roots efforts focused on marginalized populations.
Born in Falmouth, MA (Cape Cod), and more or less raised in Charleston, SC, Andrew earned his bachelor’s degree in history and theater from Charleston Southern University and his MLIS from the University of South Carolina.
For fun, Andrew loves table-top games (especially anything collaborative) and anything outdoors. He enjoys dancing, volunteering at animal shelters, and running programs with local libraries.
“Everyone I’ve met has been fantastic,” says Andrew. “The work is engaging and in line with what I’m interested in, and I missed the library atmosphere. Being close to the people you’re helping is important.”
