Background
I have been a librarian at JCU for over 20 years, filling a range of roles across technical, reference, and instructional functions. Currently, I oversee electronic resource administration, maintain the library's holdings across our catalog and databases, and coordinate collection development and assessment efforts. I also generally oversee the library's website and content management systems.
Ask Me About:
- Problems accessing a library resource, ebook, database, etc.
- Whether we have a particular resource and how to access it.
- Purchasing library resources including books, streaming videos, journals.
- Broken links or outdated information on the library's website.
- Anything! I'm happy to help route your question appropriately.
Areas of Expertise
