Catherine Barnes

Catherine is a Course Coordinator and Lecturer in University of South Australia, STEM with specialisations in Metadata and Descriptive Cataloguing. She has qualifications and experiences in Information Management, Information Technology and Education, with a passion for metadata and learning. As a working practitioner, a curiosity for not just the how and why of describing things, but also the who has led to further exploration of the connection between description and digital inclusion. With a broad experience in regional Australia, as well as medical, technology, theological, and vocational organisations, an awareness of engaging with communities for representation is a key aspect of her practice and teaching.
