I am the Readers’ Services Librarian at RISD. Reference, Instruction, and Circulation keeps me busy! Since coming to RISD in 2004, I have been researching RISD’s dazzle camouflage collection. Currently I am working on a dazzle exhibition and symposium for February 2009. Before coming to RISD, I was the Library Director at the Corcoran Library in Washington, DC.

Looking forward to Denver!

Greetings fellow ADSL colleagues!

A recent transplant from Michigan to Chicago via Boston, I am the Digital Resources Librarian at the Harrington College of Design. Currently, I am managing a migration to Voyager from Horizon. Once that is finished, I will be refocusing my energies on the challenge of finding digital image resources for a for-profit institution and implementing Web 2.0 technologies. Previously, I was at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I was given the opportunity to attend my first Arlis/NA conference and really get a sense of how awesome it is to be part of the ADSL. Before that, I was at the University of Michigan Fine Arts Library where I started learning the ins and outs of being an art librarian.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Denver!
