Covering for Sociology Librarian (Interim)
Interim coverage with James R. Jacobs of State, Local and International Government Documents
My work centers on facilitating the research process. I assist Stanford University students, faculty, staff and visiting scholars in the navigation and organization of information resources. I teach searching techniques that enable researchers to dig deeper into the invaluable collections held by Stanford University Libraries.
My collection development responsibilities include the following subject areas:
- Anthropology & Archaeology,
- Communication & Journalism,
- Feminist Studies,
- Lusophone (Portuguese speaking) Africa,
- Sports & Recreation
Within these subject areas, I serve as the primary liaison between the library and the aforementioned academic departments and programs. I provide in-person and online consultations as well as library tours and workshops. I design learner-centered workshops infused with course specific content. I invite faculty and teaching assistants to contact me to schedule a session.
I am interested in archiving social science data for long term perservation and re-use.
