About

As subject specialist for Architecture and Urban Planning, I am the library liaison to the Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning. I support their curriculum and investigations by selecting materials (print, image and electronic) for teaching and research. As Visual Resources Librarian I supervise the operation of the Visual Resources Collection in the lower level of the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library and manage digital image resources provided by the Library for the entire campus.

Background

I joined the staff of the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library in September, 1998. My background is in architectural history, beginning with a master's degree in Architectural History from the University of Virginia School of Architecture. Before earning a masters in Information Science here at the University of Michigan, I received a PhD in the History of Art with a focus on medieval architecture. I am particularly interested in the meanings of architectural form and space.

Responsibilities

I work closely with Annette Haines, our Art & Design librarian and with Deirdre Spencer, our History of Art librarian. In addition I work with Karl Longstreth in the Map Library and Jen Green, our Spatial and Numeric Data Librarian.
