About me
I have worked at JMU Libraries since October of 2016. I attended JMU as an undergraduate and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in History, and attended JMU for a Master’s degree to earn a Master of Arts in World History with a specific focus on the religions of Ancient Rome and Gaul. I am currently employed as a Stacks Coordinator.
About Academic Engagement Unit
We welcome people to the Libraries and help facilitate their experience by staffing the Libraries’ buildings and supporting people on their journey of inquiry. We answer and refer questions via Ask the Library, provide instruction sessions and consultations, and leverage our expertise to develop and provide access to scholarly collections, including special collections. Departments include Access & User Services, Digital Scholarship and Distinctive Collections, and Research & Education Services.
About Access & Delivery Team
We help JMU patrons and other Libraries’ departments by delivering library materials to on-campus locations and maintaining the condition of the Libraries’ physical collections through shelving, tidying up, and relocating collections. We also help with the systems and software that support borrowing library materials and managing patrons’ library accounts.
About Access & User Services Department
We staff the Libraries’ buildings (Rose Library, Libraries Express, and the Music Library), answer and refer user questions, and circulate library collections. Teams include Access & Delivery, Library & Information Services, and the Music Library.
