What Can I Do For You?

As Head of Information Services I supervise:

The Information Desk:
This is the first public service desk that patrons encounter when they enter the library. This desk provides information and referral about library resources, services and staff.

Presentation Support:
The Presentation Support Desk provides technology support and assistance to patrons in the Library's computing labs and classrooms. In Atkins Library labs, patrons can type a document, create a spreadsheet or slide presentation, or edit a video or multimedia presentation.

Instructional Services:
Instructional Services library faculty partner with academic faculty to provide library instruction for academic classes that include library-related assignments. Instruction usually takes place in the library although sometimes it can be arranged in another space.

In addition, I serve as Science Reference and Liaison Librarian, I provide research assistance and library instruction in the subject areas of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Nanoscale Science, Optoelectronics and Physics and Optical Science.

Also, I serve as an Adjunct Instructor for the UNC Greensboro Library and Information Science Graduate program. Currently I teach two courses on the UNC Charlotte campus during alternating semesters.

My primary personal research interest centers on the academic library "Information Commons" service model. I enjoy making presentations and writing publications on this topic.
