James Neal

Senior Library Program Officer

I am a graduate of the MLS program at the University of Maryland College of Information Science, Maryland's iSchool in the Information and Diverse Populations concentration. I worked for two years as a librarian with Prince George's County Memorial Library System. I am now a Program Officer with the United States Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The portfolio that I manage is based on funding opportunities in open educational resources (OER); broadband access; digital inclusion; open data; civic technology; and data privacy and security.

I maintain a strong interest in the future of public libraries. In mid-August 2014 I began working in a Librarian I position at Prince George's County Memorial Public Library System (PGCMLS) - Hyattsville branch. On August 24, 2015 I moved into a new position at the Administrative Offices of PGCMLS as a Librarian III - Digital Services. I left PGCMLS at the end of October 2016 to begin work with the IMLS.
