Humanities Research and Instruction Librarian

About

I am the liaison librarian to the departments of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Comparative Literature at the University of Colorado.

I have an MA from the University of St Andrews, UK and an MSIS from the University of Texas. Growing up in Britain, I am fluent in French and Spanish and have lived in Europe, South and North America. I am active in SALALM and I research technology and foreign language librarianship.

My interests include:
*Instructional design in the classroom, in the library, and in the profession (with a focus on Spanish and Latin American libraries and librarians) as well as within the broader realm of the digital humanities.
*Integration of information literacy with foreign language teaching theory and study, examining how the library can support foreign language instruction through linguistic expertise and instructional design.
*User experience within the library, and the situated interplay of user needs and emerging technologies.
