Biography
I am a Library Associate Professor in the Dana Medical Library where I provide reference, consultation, and instruction services. I participate in the College of Medicine Vertical Integrated Curriculum, introducing medical students to high-quality information sources for clinical care and research through in-person, online, and online asynchronous instruction. I provide instruction and consultation services to graduate students in the Larner College of Medicine. In addition, I manage the UVM Libraries Institutional Repository, coordinating the growth and development of UVM ScholarWorks. My research interests center on scholarly communication, including approaches to instruction as well as other methods for facilitating the publishing and sharing of research.
