Founding Interns – Fall 2022
Rosine Rigot Bingol
Rosine Rigot Bingol (she/her) started
the MLIS program in Fall 2021 and plans to graduate in Spring
2024. She earned her bilingual (French and Turkish) BA in
Political Science and Political Administration at Marmara
University, Istanbul, Turkiye, and her MBA at San Francisco State
University. While Rosine dedicated several years to raising her
two children, she has worked as an information professional on
various multilingual (French, Turkish, and English) and
data-driven projects. Most recently, she worked as a Metadata
Specialist at Stanford University Libraries, where she found her
passion for information organization, digital services, and
digital asset management. Joining the Library Technology
Integration Lab, Rosine brings her knowledge in information
organization, user experience, and web design. She hopes that one
day, technology will be a commodity accessible to patrons from
all backgrounds in libraries. Rosine is affiliated with the
Special Library Association Student Chapter (SLASC) and works as
the Second Assistant Membership Director. In addition, Rosine
volunteers at her children’s school. Some of her hobbies include
cooking, reading, listening to classical music, practicing yoga,
meditation, and mindfulness.
Tyler Livy
Tyler Livy (He/Him) is a current MLIS
candidate at San Jose State University. He started his time there
in Spring 2021, and will (hopefully!) graduate in Fall 2022. He
sees himself as a lifelong student, but he secretly really needs
a break so he can get more sleep. Tyler doesn’t really remember
what classes he took at the University of the Pacific, but he
focused on Communications, hoping that receiving a BA would
help him improve his communication skills. He should have
followed through on that self-designed major. Oh well.
Apparently, he also has a minor in sociology. While there, he
advocated on behalf of other students with disabilities, helping
establish a mentor-mentee system to help individuals navigate and
advocate within the school, and conducted research on
accommodations He also served on the Residence Hall
Association for two years and wrote for the school newspaper.
Having been born with multiple disabilities, Tyler brings to the
LTI lab his unique perspective on the information seeking
behaviors of disabled individuals, as well as a deep and abiding
passion for making technology more accessible for people of all
kinds.
Irene Miller
Irene Miller (she/her) began her MLIS
at SJSU in Fall 2021 and dreams of being a student all her life
but will probably graduate in Spring 2024. After completing a
seemingly arbitrary collection of courses including several
foreign languages, biological sciences, and history, she was
awarded a BA in Anthropology from the University of Colorado in
Boulder. After graduation, she dedicated several years to working
as a Domestic Engineer with extensive experience as a Tantrum and
Meltdown Negotiator. Additionally, she has worked as an SAT
instructor with Kaplan, written for a local newspaper, held a
leadership position with the Boy Scouts of America, run blood
drives for the Red Cross, and served on the instructional
materials committee of her local school district. She is
currently serving her second year as an events coordinator for
the American Library Association Student Chapter (ALASC) at SJSU,
working to create events that educate and build community for
iSchool students. She brings her curiosity and dedication to
creating understandable and educational materials to empower
librarians and students in the dynamic and often intimidating
world of technology to the Library Technology Integration Lab
team. When she isn’t accidentally flying drones into the bushes
or researching background images for Mozilla Hubs, Irene enjoys
backpacking in the mountains, working on her blog, and taking
pictures of her kids that she can use to embarrass them when they
graduate from high school.
