Jeff Campbell
Head of Library and Information Services
About me
I have worked in a variety of roles within the Libraries since 2008, all focused on serving and supporting our many users and their needs. In my current role I coordinate a team that oversees the main service desks in Carrier and Rose Libraries as well as the Ask the Library virtual service. I love seeing the varied research questions and topics that our community is interested in and am always happy to help connect people to the vast resources and expertise they need within the libraries.
Prior to working in the Libraries full-time I worked in the JMU Athletics department and with Major League Soccer in Philadelphia, PA. I still get my sports fix on the intramural fields here at JMU in my spare time!
Education:
- B.S. in Sport and Recreation Management from James Madison University
- M.S. in Sport Leadership from James Madison University
