I began at Dickinson College in July 2006. As Associate Director for Library Resources & Administration, I am responsible for management of the library's collections and technical services, as well as administrative responsibilities in project management, communication and assessment
Before coming to Dickinson College, I spent over 10 years as an academic pharmacy and medical librarian working at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the University of Michigan Medical and Public Health libraries.
My areas of interest include conducting and teaching information retrieval to support healthcare related research and evidence-based practice. I am particularly interested in helping students acquire the critical appraisal skills they need to evaluate information, given the political, social, ethical, and economic issues that can affect the way in which information is produced and disseminated.
