Hello, my name is Chris Sweet and I am the Information Literacy Librarian at
Illinois Wesleyan University. I have a diverse library background that includes
experience in archives, public libraries and community colleges. This diversity along
with my liberal arts background has heavily influenced my scholarship. I have eclectic
and ever-changing interests, but much of my scholarship revolves around information
literacy and library instruction.
