Hello! I'm one of 10 Instruction Librarians at W&M! I specialized in History, Philosophy, and Gov Docs.
A few facts about me:
- I'm originally from a farm town about an hour from Buffalo NY; my town was so small that learning to square dance & using snow shoes were part of the K-12 curriculum. It has 1 traffic light, 4 pizzerias, and a weekly farmers' market. My older brother is a principal in that town.
- Before moving to W&M, I was a professor & librarian at Portland State University (Oregon); before that I was a librarian at Drew University in NJ. I began my library career as the research librarian to the North Dakota legislature in Bismarck ND - it was very, very cold.
- In addition to a Library Science masters degree (MLS), I'm also trained as a historian (BA, MA, PhD). My research and publications focus on Anglo-American History, the history of 19th century cultural & intellectual life, andthe history of higher education.
- I like running, scifi, and possums. I've as yet been unable to combined these interests.
