As a librarian I hope that our profession will better define itself and then effectively make ourselves known to people who have need of the skills, services, and resources available in libraries. Our responsibilities include efficiently facilitating the use of information and the tasks we perform include cataloging and indexing information resources and helping people to know about and use databases of those resources. I believe that computers are wonderful tools which help us meet our responsibilities and do our jobs.
Librarians have important skills relative to uses of computers and dissemination of resources.
At UC Davis I am a reference librarian at the Carlson Health Sciences Library and the General Library's Library Teaching Coordinator. I have been a reference librarian in the Humanities and Social Sciences Reference Department here at UC Davis. Other positions here at UC Davis include that of being the Data Services Librarian and I worked in our Systems Department for several years, too. I graduated from the Library and Information Science School at SUNY Albany. My BA is in Political Science from SUNY Binghamton.
