Robert J. Nelson - Audio Projects Librarian; Head of Audio-Visual Services

Robert has worked in the Marriott Library since 1988. Hired as an Academic Librarian in 1994, he has worked in Government Documents, the Curriculum Library and the Digital Scholarship Lab. Robert is now the Head for Audio & Video Services within the Creativity & Innovation Services Department.

Since 1988 Nelson has been a deejay on local community radio station KRCL 90.9FM. He is the 
host of the Saturday afternoon Reggae program Smile Jamaica. From 2003-2012 he conducted political interviews on the station's Radioactive listener call-in program. He conducted more than 400 hour long interviews with local, national and international guests: Howard Zinn, Ralph Nader, Rocky Anderson,
 Daniel Ellsberg, Amy Goodman and Naomi Klein to name a few. He has nearly 30 years experience in recording and editing sound.

The Audio (as well as Video) Studios were placed in the Faculty Center as a way to group Course Development Projects with other partners like the Center For Teaching & Learning Excellence, Teaching & Learning Technologies and Instructional Media Service. The primary purpose was to help Faculty develop Audio (and Video) for curricular projects and online course development.

Right away, the Audio-Video Staff saw the potential for expanding the services to include: Graduate Students, Undergraduates and selected Community Groups.

The expectation to integrate sound and visual imagery into various curricular projects is ever expanding. The Audio and Video suite of services provides space, equipment and expertise to help multi media projects come to fruition.
