Hello! I am the new Electronic Resources Librarian on the Cooperative Purchasing and Electronic Resources Services (CPERS) team. I am coming to Minitex from a large public High School where I served as the Digital Learning Coordinator, but I have had a wide array of library experiences including academic, K-12, special, and (a sprinkle of) public libraries. I tend to gravitate toward the electronic resources and systems side of librarianship, so I’m thrilled to be able to take on this new role to support the work of CPERS with Anne Hatinen and Tim Peters.
