What I Do

I teach research instruction classes to groups of students, focusing on database searching and information literacy. I also staff the third floor reference desk, as well as being available to answer questions in my office on the second floor of the library. My other responsibilities include liaison with several academic departments (Africana Studies, Education, Economics, and Music), selection and evaluation of books and other library resources, and service on faculty committees. Some of my personal interests include sports (particularly women’s athletics), music (especially rock, folk, and blues), and progressive social movements and countercultures.

I believe that information literacy and library skills are essential to success in school and life in general. Therefore, I am committed to providing the best instruction and assistance to the university community.

I am generally at the library from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I also work the occasional Saturday and Sunday. Please come see me in person, phone me, or e-mail me with any questions you may have!
