At Colby I am responsible for services and library instruction to the science
students and faculty. To that end I prepare resource guides for relevant science topics
and courses. A sample are below. 

For the past three sabbaticals, I have worked at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries,
and in Science Reference at Library of Congress. The guides I have prepared for LC are
listed below.
