Summary

As Director of Liaisons and Research  Services, I work extensively with students and faculty to help them access the resources they need for teaching, learning, and research. I also provide library instruction for undergraduate and graduate classes, in-person research consultations, and library collections support for the College of Education. Finally, I serve as Associate Editor for the journal Evidence Based Library and Information Practice.
