Hi.

I'm one of the archivists in Manuscripts and Archives in Sterling Memorial Library.  I help researchers to use our collections over the phone, in person, and by email, and I help put together exhibits for the Memorabilia Room. 

You can usually find me in the archives (right inside the Wall Street entrance to Sterling) on Tuesdays, Fridays, Wednesday mornings--I'm easiest to find when I'm at the archives reference desk, Tuesdays and Fridays from 3 to 4:45.  I'm also happy to meet with you outside those times, or help out by phone or email.

Outside of work, I run, row with the New Haven Rowing Club, bike and knit.

How can my Personal Librarian help me?

• Keep you informed with periodic e-mail messages highlighting new resources and programs specifically for students, as well as with notices and timely reminders, such as extended Library hours during Reading Week and finals
• Answer your questions about Library policies, procedures and services, such as RefWorks workshops and Borrow Direct
• Assist with finding information for your research assignments, by helping you articulate your research question, identify the best sources, and formulate your search strategies
• Support you even when you’re not around (on vacation or away from Yale doing research)
• Help you when you don’t know where to start, or you can’t think of what to do next

Things we don’t do (but we’ll help you find out who can)

• Set up your computer (i.e. NetIDs, VPN)
• Do your research, make photocopies or write your paper for you
