Summary
As Director of Research and Instructional Services, I work with students and faculty to help them access resources for teaching, learning, and research. I teach library research to classes, provide individual research consultations, and develop library collections related to Education, Human Development & Family Studies, Art, Anthropology, and Theatre & Dance. Finally, I serve as Editor-in-Chief for the journal Evidence Based Library and Information Practice.
