I am the Associate Director for Social Sciences on the Social Science-Clark team, Research Division.

In addition, I'm the Collection Coordinator for Social Sciences. I share responsibility for Hatcher Graduate Library collections as a whole with Kristen Castellana and Brendan Nieubuurt.  I lead the Social Sciences team in evaluating and selecting major electronic resources and general social science materials in the social sciences. 

As the library liaison to the Department of Linguistics, I'm happy to help with research projects, library instruction and collection requests on linguistics.

I first joined U-M Library in 1999.  Previous professional positions were at the University of Hong Kong, law firm Johnston Stokes & Master (Hong Kong) and the State Library of Massachusetts. As a librarian I have worked in the fields of economics, linguistics, anthropology, social work, law, history, and music; government documents at all levels and with audio-visual materials.  I was Head of the U-M Social Work Library, 2005-2009.  I was Chair of ACRL ANSS and a co-founder of the ACRL Language & Linguistics Discussion Group.
