She is a former member of the American Library Association Council, and was a moderator on MetaFilter from 2005-2014.[1] Early life and educationWest grew up in Massachusetts,[2] where her father, computer engineer Tom West, worked for RCA and Data General. (He was the key figure in the 1981 Tracy Kidder book The Soul of a New Machine.) She may be named after the author Jessamyn West (according to her parents, a "coincidence"),[3] and as a child corresponded with her.[2] She is also the niece of actor Peter Coyote.[3] She graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst[4] and moved to Seattle in 1990,[2] before moving back to Vermont in 2003.[4] CareerIn 1995, she went to Cluj-Napoca in Romania, where she ran a library for the Freedom Forum.[4] After returning to the U.S. she completed graduate work at the University of Washington for a Master of Librarianship degree.[5] West works as a freelance library consultant, mainly in Orange County, Vermont, focusing on helping libraries with technology.[4] She moderated the group blog MetaFilter, retiring as Director of Operations in 2014.[6] She continues to be active answering questions in Ask MetaFilter.[7][8] She is also an active Wikipedian, working particularly on Vermont and library topics.[9] In June 2011 she joined the Wikimedia Foundation Advisory Board.[10][11] She has staffed information desks at Burning Man and the 1999 WTO protests, and supported and maintained the Internet Archive's Open Library project.[12] West briefly signed up as a researcher for Google Answers, writing about her experience for the journal Searcher.[13] (She resigned after finding she had probably violated her contract by writing about the service.)[14] West believed that "the money factor" skewed the relationship between the researcher and consumer of information, and played a part in the service's later demise.[15] West is considered an "opinion maker" in the profession and presents frequently at conferences.[22] In 2002, Library Journal named her a "mover and shaker" of the library world.[16] She is a self-described anti-capitalist.

Wired described her as "on the front lines in battling the USA PATRIOT Act," particularly the provisions that allow warrantless searches of library records. The act not only prohibits libraries from notifying the subjects of such searches, it prohibits them from disclosing to the public whether any such searches have been made. In protest, West created a number of notices that libraries can post which she suggests are "technically legal." One of them, for example, reads: "The FBI has not been here. Watch very closely for the removal of this sign." The Vermont Library Association provided copies of this sign to every public library in Vermont.[18]West was one of about three dozen "credentialed bloggers" at the 2004 Democratic National Convention,[19] the first time that such an event issued press credentials to bloggers. She indicated in a New York Times feature on the group that her goal was making "the librarian voice in politics stronger and louder."[20] Her first-day quip that the convention was "Burning Man for Democrats, without the nudity or drugs" was widely reported.[21] In 2007, West made a YouTube video of herself installing Ubuntu on two library computers, which attracted thousands of views and requests for free CDs from Canonical.[22] DesktopLinux.com called it a "non-jaded, non-techie look at Ubuntu."[23] Cory Doctorow, writing on the blog Boing Boing, dubbed her an "internet folk hero", and brought the video 14,000 views in a day and a half.[24] Works and publications
