<p>I am the Arts &amp; Humanities Librarian supporting all of the arts and humanities disciplines, as well as digital humanities projects, in UNH's College of Liberal Arts. I am also a published genealogist with specialties in Maine, New Hampshire, and New England. My scholarly background is in American literature, and my doctoral work was on Sarah Orne Jewett, the 19th-century short story writer from Maine. I write on issues regarding librarianship, information literacy, and genealogy. I have a M.A. and PhD. from University of Connecticut and an MLIS from Simmons.</p>
