In 2026 I moved to LIT-AIM in same role, managing the ongoing development and maintenance of library-wide Alma training.

  • Collaboration with subject area experts to address training needs for individual library units. 

  • Co-chairing the Alma Coordinating Committee, the decision-making body of Alma-related issues.
