Jay McAllister

Engineering and Honors College Librarian

Although Jay is from the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, he was raised at an early age to cheer on the Razorbacks since both of his parents are from the state of Arkansas. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in History, Jay decided to pursue a career in librarianship. He attended the University of North Texas and graduated with a Master of Science in Library Science. While a student, Jay's first job in libraries started with working the evening shifts at the Willis Library at the University of North Texas while employed for an electrical contractor. With experience in tow, an opportunity arose to become a circulation assistant for the Eugene McDermott Library at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). Not much later, Jay applied and accepted a position of Instruction Librarian at UTD and taught information literacy and library research skills to students. Beginning 2018, Jay accepted the postion of Engineering Librarian from the University of Arkansas and has done so ever since in serving the needs of students and faculty from the College of Engineering. As of fall 2021, Jay requested and accepted the additional role of being the Honors College Librarian. His recent publications have focused on comparing research database platforms and mapping engineering publications using the data visualization software VOSviewer. His research interests are the future of academic libraries, data visualization, and the integration of immersive and makerspace tech like VR/AR, 3d printing and Arduino into libraries. Jay is heavily interested in the future scope and opportunity libraries have and how data and technology can be incorporated into library services. Jay seeks active collaborators who want to integrate library objectives or assignments with coursework, have interest in incorporating immersive tech in libraries, as well as data network visualization of research publications.
