Library Background

I have had working library experience as both library paraprofessional staff and as a professional librarian. As a librarian I have worked in both academic and public libraries and have done reference, acquisitions, cataloging, and subject bibliography. At the University of Illinois I also did an extensive amount of searching for holdings of rare Slavic materials for the Interlibrary Loan office.

Libraries were also an important part of my childhood. By the time I was in Junior High School I was volunteering in the School Library and had decided to become a librarian. In Elementary School I frequently went to the public library after school and spent many happy hours reading there.
