About

I am the Shared Print Program Officer for HathiTrust Digital Library. Our partnership includes over 145 academic and research institutions working to transform scholarship and research in the 21st century.  The partnering institutions currently own and maintain a trusted digital repository of more than 11 million volumes, digitized from partner library collections and other sources. I am responsible for planning and implementing a shared print program among the more than 145 HathiTrust members. The primary goal of this program is to ensure preservation of both print and digital collections by securing retention commitments for print volumes that mirror HathiTrust digital holdings.

Background

My background is in collection management, project management, and resource sharing. I previously studied English and Women Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning my Master's Degree at the iSchool.
