Research Enterprise & Scholarly Communications
As a member of the Research Enterprise and Scholarly Communication
Team, I support and contribute to the work of researchers and research
teams on campus throughout all phases of the research cycle. From the
time you conceive of a research project until after you finish work on
the project the RE&SC team will work with you in the areas of
information management, data curation, dissemination, publication,
collaboration and long-term preservation.
About Me
BA (Concordia), Dip Env (McGill), MLIS (McGill)
I received my Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) from McGill University in 1997. I began my career as a librarian at the Science Industry and Business Library in New York City. Before coming to Guelph, I spent five years working in Thunder Bay for Ontario Library Service-North, Thunder Bay Public Library, and the Lakehead University Library.
