Background & Areas of Expertise


I began at Dickinson College in July 2006, serving in various capacities since then. As the current Associate Dean for Collections & Resources, I am responsible for the management of and budgeting for the library's collections and library technical services team. Among other things, that team is responsible for acquisitions, electronic resources and discovery (JumpStart/catalog, Databases List, Journals List), and the Dickinson Scholar institutional repository. I also have administrative responsibilities in project management, communication and assessment and serve as a member of the library's leadership team.

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.
