I have a B.A. from Butler University and an M.I.L.S. from the University of Michigan.  I joined the library staff in 1997, in the Authorities Unit, and have worked in the Clements Recon Project and in Cataloging.  I have also published articles on historic opera singers in several music journals.

I work in the Resource Description Unit, and my principal responsibilities are creating minimal level bibliographic records, copy cataloging, and assigning call numbers and subject headings.  I manage the library's book review blog, Lost in the Stacks:http://www.lib.umich.edu/blogs/lost-stacks .
