Librarian

 

Professional statement

I am passionate about knowledge and fortunate to work on what I love deeply. As a science librarian at a small liberal arts college, I collaborate daily with faculty and students in an intellectual journey whose main goal is to create new knowledge. With the advent of the online world the role of libraries is evolving and expanding rapidly to embrace new areas. This is especially true of science libraries. To thrive in this changing scholarly landscape, I support the idea that libraries need to reinvent themselves as creative spaces, as places where knowledge happens unbound and unlimited. I regard engagement with the creative economy as the most compelling call in the future of libraries.
