I am an Instruction and Outreach Librarian at Western Michigan University and liaison librarian for communication, criminal justice, economics, social work, and sociology. In addition to offering reference and research assistance, I am active in the Libraries' instruction program and have authored several discipline-specific interactive online tutorials. My research interests and publications have explored areas such as multimedia and web-based library instruction, instructional strategies for engaging students, faculty use of technology for instruction, collaborative strategies to deliver instruction for information literacy, designing the library instructional facility, library web site development, use of telepresence robot technology in the library, and patron usage studies.
