I work in the College Archives with Archivist Bridget Bower to provide information, documents, photographs, media, etc, about the College.  My particular role, based on my experience as a "cataloger / metadata creator", is describing the Archives' resources for the Library catalog & other databases, like the South Central Region's "Tools of History" database which now contains many images from the College's past downtown and on the South Hill campus.

I am also the liaison for Library services (resources, reference, and information literacy instruction, with Modern Languages faculty and students, and an adjunct Reference librarian.  

In my former position as Catalog Librarian (& systems person without portfolio), I set up online & CD-ROM database access for Library staff & patron use, and managed the preparation of the Library's first online Catalog. 

I came to the Ithaca College Library with a background in modern/classical languages (Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish, "title-page" Russian, Southern dialect of Vietnamese), cataloging, reference, and work with special collections (Vietnam and Southeast Asia in particular), gained at the Cornell U. Library system & the SUNY-Cortland Library.

On the other sections of this page, you will find links to Projects I've worked on, to resources for study of modern languages/literatures at IC, and to my"Current Picks" -- resources from the College Library I find particularly interesting, and you might too.
