Bio
Born in 1975 in Michigan. Moved all over. Undergrad at Indiana University (Anthro/Poly Sci - 2002). Married (2002 - Minnett, Ontario). MA in Medieval Studies from the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University (2004). Son born (2006 - Pittsburgh, PA). MLIS, University of Pittsburgh (2007). Currently, I’m the Humanities Librarian at Sacred Heart University and I get to (don’t tell anyone) spend the entire day doing library stuff…it’s quite the gig.
The Wiki
Changes are afoot at the Ryan-Matura Library. Plans to hire four subject librarians to establish and head the new Research Services Department are well underway, as three of us have now been hired. One of the initial goals of the department is to create an online collaborative community in which librarians, students, faculty, and staff at Sacred Heart University can communicate with one another, the greater Fairfield community, and the world. This wiki is a part of this effort and will be linked to my blog, the other subject librarians’ blogs, and the overall library blog.
