As the Director of Research & Learning at the University of Maryland Libraries, I provide leadership for the subject-liaison services, general reference and instructional services, and the development of Research Commons for the Libraries. I am also the librarian for Jewish and Slavic Studies and have been very fortunate in building successful Judaica and Slavica collections at the University of Maryland. I help students and faculty find and interpret information on Jewish and Russian topics, and partner with faculty in teaching information literacy, as well as developing programs and events.
