Library

Claire is on sabbatical leave from April - June term 2019, and will return September 2019.

What I do at Lane

The Library is the heart of our campus and my job is to help keep the heart beating!  I field questions at the Reference/Research Help desk, help students develop topics for research, find relevant sources, and understand different types of information. I also provide reference by chat, phone, and email. 

I teach classes on how to find and use information, and I collaborate with faculty to integrate information literacy concepts into their classes. I do workshops on skill-building for research and academic success. I create research guides and select materials for purchase in many subject areas.

Finally, I work on a variety of projects related to the Library and public service, special events, and campus initiatives. I love to work with Library users to find all manner of resources for academic research, pleasure reading, and creative endeavors. 

I am also an artist. For examples of my artwork please visit ephemerarium.
