I’m an Information Services Librarian at Library of the Health Sciences-Chicago and liaison to the College of Pharmacy and College of Nursing. I support the reference and research needs of faculty, staff, and students through curriculum-integrated instruction, workshops, individual research consultations, and by developing online tutorials. As Education Coordinator, I manage instruction requests and library workshops. I also coordinate new librarian training and administer programs to develop teaching and assessment techniques for my colleagues.
