About

In my role as Coordinator, Undergraduate Library Reference Services, I manage the reference services and collections of the Shapiro Undergraduate Library.  I am part of the Library's User Information and Discovery Services Department.

As Economics Librarian,  I purchase materials for the Graduate Library in support of the research and instructional programs of the the Economics Department and provide reference and research consultations to economics faculty and students.

I also serve as the subject liaison to the Interdisciplinary Program in Organizational Studies.

I work at the reference desk at the UGL and Graduate Library, answer questions on Ask a Librarian, and as a UGL selector acquire books for the UGL on business, careers, economics, labor,  psychology, organizational studies, anthropology, gender studies, sociology, education, women's studies, performing arts, sociology, political science, law and medicine.

I can be reached at my office in the Shapiro Library or by phone or email.
