About me

As liaison librarian, I help students, faculty, and staff effectively gather health information to inform their decision-making, research inquiries and academic endeavors. My main duties include:

• Provide instruction on finding, evaluating, and using health information sources
• Consult with students about health 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

Get started with your research with Research Guides or make an appointment to meet with me about your specific topic!

About Academic Engagement

Academic Engagement is a new, public-facing division of the Libraries, under formation now. Departments include Library and Information Services, the Music Library, Research & Education Services, Digital Projects, and Special Collections. These latter two teams are coming together soon as the department of Digital Scholarship and Distinctive Collections.

About Research & Education Services

We further JMU’s teaching, learning, and scholarship mission through our work as educators, researchers, and collections managers. Research & Education Services is the home of the Liaison Librarian Program.
