I’m a person in the Midwest, honoring this heritage by cooking casseroles, gardening, and obsessing over times I may have been less than polite.
As a librarian for the past decade, I’ve:
- Served as principal investigator on a grant titled “Examining excellence and access in open educational resources and digital course content: A pilot project”
- Developed an institutional archive from scratch
- Managed an ILS migration
- Co-built an open access institutional repository
- Taught hundreds of information literacy and research sessions to undergraduate and graduate students
- Co-created dozens of topical book displays with colleagues
- Managed a student art gallery in the library
- Engaged in various forms of outreach, from:
- Inviting a local high school to have a yearly “Research Day” at a university I worked at
- Rolling book carts full of art books across campus to art studio classes
- Planning a “Maker Day” with faculty members for students and their families
- Co-created/produced a podcast on faculty research
I also write and edit, and you can find some of that work under “Writing.” How novel!
