Joseph Deodato is the Web Services Librarian at the College of Staten Island Library. As Web Services Librarian, Deodato is responsible for the design, implementation, and evaluation of web interfaces and technologies that provide access to library resources and services, including the library's website, electronic resources, and other web-based services and applications used for delivering content and instruction to library users.

In addition to holding master's degrees in library science and liberal studies, Deodato also has a strong academic background in history, archives, and museum studies. His research interests include cultural studies, library technology, and critical theories of library and information science. Deodato's essays on the application of postmodernist perspectives to archival theory have received awards from the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies as well as the Progressive Librarian's Guild. His more recent work includes a chapter authored for the forthcoming book Critical Theory for Library and Information Science: Exploring the Social from Across the Disciplines (Libraries Unlimited, 2010), which discusses the applicability of Jacques Derrida's work to principles and practices of bibliographic description.
