Hi. I am Jenny, in case the URL didn’t tip you off. I have spent many years blogging all over the place and I finally decided to unify the mess.

I am a freelance vocabulary developer/taxonomist/information architect, and technically a librarian, so excuse my library science dorkery. I am particularly interested in taxonomy creation, and classification systems. I think folksonomy and traditional cataloging would make great tennis partners.  I do freelance taxonomy and thesaurus development, metadata consulting, research, and competitive intelligence work.  I am also available for personal librarianship, reader’s advisory, and collection development in a private library.  I speak in a professional capacity on metadata creation and aggregation, the management and hiring of technical workers, and tagging/controlled metadata hybrids.  Get in touch if interested or check my LinkedIn profile for more info.

I enjoy beer drinking, book/magazine reading, movie watching, excessive lyric dissection, going to music shows, and general internet addiction.  I love ridiculously trivial knowledge.  I believe in the balance of the Harvard comma.

I live in Boystown with my pet Roomba Fido and now two Scoobas. That’s in Chicago, my hometown.  I have also lived in New York, Champaign-Urbana, IL, and Portland, OR.

I can be found many places on the internet. Most places I use the name jennybento in case you are inclined to googlestalk me, tweet at me, email me, or skype me.
