About me

I’m the Distance Learning Librarian at Norwich University, a small, private military school that also enrolls civilian students. As the Distance Learning Librarian, I work with the students, faculty, and staff of ten online graduate programs (administered by the School of Graduate Studies, SGS). I also work with undergraduate students: my colleagues and I share responsibilities for class instruction and answering in-person and virtual reference questions.

My start at Norwich coincides with the launch of a new course management software, ANGEL Learning. It’s great to be coming in at the beginning of the ANGEL experience because I will be able to learn from how the students make use of the new software and adjust the library’s services within ANGEL to suit how the students use it.

My job combines all of my interests in library work: reference, instruction, and, most of all, supporting the needs of distance learning students. I received my MLS from Southern Connecticut State University as an online student, and I knew early on in my program that I wanted to work with a community of online learners. I am happy to be where I am.
