About Me
As UJ's Reference and Instruction Librarian, I work with students and faculty from all departments and fields of study. I'm passionate about lifelong learning, teaching research skills, and making the library an accessible and useful resource for all. Ask me about my pets or what I'm currently reading if you really want to get me going.

Through group research on a topic we sleect as a class, students will practice search strategies and techniques in library and freely available search tools, critically evaluate and analyze different types of information, and practice the ethical use of information.
