I am the Electronic Services Librarian at Middlebury. I am a member of Academic Consulting Services in LIS, our merged Library and Information Services organization. I have served as library and technology liaison to many departments in my 6 1/2 years at Middlebury. Currently, I am a member of the Curricular Technology Team, a cross-functional team consisting of individuals drawn from several different areas within LIS. I also serve and the technology liaison to the summer Language Schools. Along with serving on the Web Redesign Committee, I am a project manager for several departments’ Web makeovers. I am the admin for SubjectsPlus (the open-source platform for our library subject guides) and CONTENTdm. To varying degrees, I have my admin hand in several other systems, including: the library catalog (Web interface), EZProxy, library’s current website, and Segue, our courseware. Additionally, I support these systems through training and troubleshooting. I provide training and support for library databases and tools as well as providing research instruction and consultation to students, faculty, and staff.
