Name: Brian Alberton
Position: JASI Support Analyst
I’ve grown up and lived in the Sudbury area most of my life. Though I’ve always loved libraries, I didn’t expect to end up in this field. I couldn’t be happier about it!
My favourite meal is…
Homemade gnocchi and garlic bread
My desert island record is…
Queens of the Stone Age Songs for the Deaf
A random and seldom known fact about me is…
I was born in Kitimat, British Columbia despite my parents both being from the Sudbury area and almost never leaving it. We moved back to Ontario shortly after I was born, so I have no memories of it.
My favourite task or project in my OLS work role is…
In general, I especially like when librarians contact us with ideas that turn into special projects. It’s a nice change of pace from the routine and isn’t as stressful as trying to figure out a mystery error. I also enjoy creating new reports that aren’t the usual requests. I find it very interesting to look at library data in new ways.
