This post is the continuation of an “in-depth” interview series with new librarians and staff at Georgia State University College of Law Library. See earlier installments here.

We introduce our new librarians and staff at Georgia State University College of Law Library with a questionnaire invented by Austin Williams, which is borrowed in spirit, if not in part, from Marcel Proust’s famous questionnaire.

Alison: What is your name and what do you do?

Kerry: My name is Kerry Shibib. As Legal Technologies Librarian, I specialize in legal technology, teaching legal research, and serving as a law librarian.

A: How long have you been at Georgia State University College of Law Library? 

K: One month, but so far so good!

A: What books are currently on your nightstand (or Kindle)?

K: Lately I have been diving into books about machine learning and AI, like Deep Learning for Coders with fastai and PyTorch.

A: What is an interesting fact about yourself that you would like to share with our readers?

K: Taylor Swift is from my hometown, making her the second coolest thing to ever come out of Reading, Pennsylvania.

A: What is your favorite place in Atlanta (so far)?

K: I am really looking forward to living within driving distance of two Microcenters.

A: When you are not saving the world here at GSU Law Library, what do you enjoy doing outside of work?

K: I love building custom PCs and tinkering with technology generally. In other words, helping people by day and helping bring about the AI apocalypse by night.

A: Lastly, what is your favorite vacation spot? The place you go to leave it all behind for a few days.

K:The sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica!

There you have it, folks. The complete, unedited, behind-the-scenes interview with Kerry Shibib.
