Rebecca Saunders joined the Hunter Library family in September as our Cataloging and Metadata Librarian. She is from the Lowcountry area of South Carolina, and she worked at College of Charleston Libraries as an undergraduate while earning her MLIS from the University of South Carolina. Rebecca comes to us after serving as the Technical Services and Archives Librarian for two years at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire. Rebecca loves cataloging and metadata and is passionate about her work in descriptive practices. Her primary research interest is critical cataloging, which examines and works to undo the inherent bias used in the description and organization of library materials. When she’s not being a librarian, she loves reading and writing about horror films and literature, spoiling her two cats with the help of her fiancé, and visiting with her family in the Lowcountry area.
