As the Director of Collection Services, I manage the department responsible for purchasing, describing, managing, and analyzing our print and electronic collection of books, databases, journals, and more. I work with a terrific team to make sure our collections are accessible via the library catalog, database page, and research guides and that they support the research needs of our students, staff, and faculty. In addition, I coordinate the Federal Depository Library Program for government documents.

I am also the library liaison to the Linguistics and Psychology departments and participate in the Personal Librarian program to help first-year students with any research needs.

I provide instruction in research skills, information literacy, citation management software, database searching, and research data management.
