What I do

As a Liaison Librarian, I work with primarily with students and faculty in Political Science and Economics and Business with research and library related questions. This means I provide instruction for doing research, build the library’s collection of materials, and answer questions at the reference desk. In addition, I manage the Federal government information collection and selective resources for other governmental entities.

I am available to meet with you one-on-one with to help with your research – from brainstorming sources to locating a fact to printing an articling. Stop by my office off the map room in Tutt South, call, email, or IM to make an appointment.
