Welcome!
As your librarian, I communicate, consult and collaborate with students and faculty; instruct classes, and provide one-on-one research assistance in person, by phone, e-mail & instant messaging (IM).
In addition, I select books, journals, multimedia, online sources and other scholarly materials for the Art History department.
Need help? Just ask -- I look forward to working with you!
