    Wilson

    I have been working in libraries since before graduating from college and during my graduate studies. I do a little bit of everything in the library from working with individual students and faculty to full classes

    from selecting to deselecting resources for the entire collection

    from individual projects for the Reference collection to group projects with other librarians or faculty members. I've been involved in developing surveys and focus groups and various projects to transform the library into a more user-friendly atmosphere both physically and electronically.\n\nSpecialties: Research of online information and physical resources. Enabling students to become expert researchers.
