Background
I began working at the Clements Library in September 2007 and have been the Curator of Books since June 2009. I obtained my M.S.I degree from the University of Michigan School of Information and my B.A. degree in history from Whitman College. I am a member of the American Library Association’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) and the Bibliographical Society of America. My interests include the history of the book in America, women book collectors, library history, and 19th century American history.
Responsibilities
As curator, I manage the operations of the Book Division and work with the Rare Book Cataloger to set cataloging policies and procedures. My responsibilities include purchasing books for the collection; giving class presentations about the library’s primary source materials; assisting researchers with the book collection; setting cataloging policies; and overseeing management of the rare book collection. As digital projects librarian, I manage the library’s digitization program, specialized library software, and other digital initiatives.
