ArthurCraig E.ArthurVirginia TechCraig Arthur is assistant professor and Head of Foundational Instruction and Community Engagement for Virginia Tech’s University Libraries. He started deejaying in 1997 and is a member of the Table Rok Crew. An alumnus of Virginia Tech, he conducted research as an undergraduate with #VTDITC Advisory Board member Dr. A. Kwame Harrison, which ultimately led him to a career in librarianship. As a deejay, he has shared stages with many artists, including Kanye West, Common, Little Brother, the Vinyl Junkies Clique, Mike Jones (who?), and Lil Yachty. To safeguard his honorific “the nicest librarian on two turntables,” he eagerly awaits any challenges from fellow librarian deejays.01eng8323User DefinedAfricana studies23User DefinedSociology23User DefinedAnthropology23User DefinedMusic23User DefinedArt history12Africana studies12Hip-hop12Rap music12dance12history10MUS03100010REF01000010EDU02400093AVLP936RJ93GBA93JN93GBC01010302<p>Deejaying, emceeing, graffiti writing, and breakdancing.
