Pronouns: He / Him / HisAbout 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 Weekend and Evening Supervisor primarily for Rose Library.
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 Library and Information Services
We connect JMU’s diverse communities with the Libraries’ resources through a holistic approach to front-line services. We staff the main service desks in Carrier and Rose Libraries and coordinate the Ask the Library service. We provide support for checking out materials, help people find library items and electronic resources in our collections, and work closely with other Libraries’ departments to seamlessly connect people with the resources and expertise they need.
