About me
I help students, faculty, and staff effectively gather information to inform their decision-making. My main duties include:
- Provide instruction on finding, evaluating, and using information sources
- Consult with students about research and tools to manage research (ex: citation tools)
- Select books, journals, databases, videos, and more to support teaching & learning at JMU
- Help instructors understand copyright and fair use as they apply to course materials
As interim Associate Dean for Academic Engagement, I represent and facilitate awesomeness for the teams of Digital Scholarship & Distinctive Collections (Digital Projects and Special Collections), Library & Information Services, Music Library, Research & Education Services.
As a researcher, I have interests around liaison librarianship, evidence-based decision-making, and information-seeking behaviors. Please check out my SelectedWorks or Google Scholar profile to view my past publications, presentations, and other scholarly achievements.
