About me

Jen received her Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) and Master of Arts in English through the dual-masters program at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. Before coming to the University of Michigan, she cataloged early Michigan newspapers in a sub-basement at the Detroit Public Library, had a brief stint as a reference librarian at a small public library and an even briefer stint as an elementary school media specialist, and spent seven years cataloging microforms for ProQuest's Early English Books product. 

Jen has taken several classes at the University of Virginia's Rare Book School, and has particular knowledge and experience in bibliographic description of pre-19th century published materials produced in Western Europe. 

After several years as the Technical Services Liaison to Special Collections, Jen is now the Open Access Metadata Librarian for the University Press.
