Currently, Interim Dean of University Library.
Previously, coordinator Library Systems and Digital Services for St. Cloud State University.
Professional interests are many and reflect my previous experience as a reference librarian: how does a medium sized academic institution identify, develop or implement the varieties of information and education technologies that support student and faculty learning and research; how can we collaborate with faculty and other libraries to develop and provide better and more sustainable resources and services that benefit our users; how do we develop more interesting ways that allow users to manipulate, contextualize, critique, and present information content in meaningful ways..
Specialties: acquisition of electronic information resources, interface design, intergrated library systems, institutional repositories.
