Hi! I'm the Public Services and User Experience Librarian. I enjoy helping people, so don't be afraid to reach out for help. And as the one running point on user experience—I am all ears to hearing feedback and opinions about how our libraries can be improved for their users. (You can also email me tricky citation questions; I read the APA and MLA style manuals cover to cover whenever new editions come out, like a nerd.)
