Collections Librarian

A Typical Day at the Library   

I work with the Collections team to purchase new books, films, and databases. I also catalog the books and movies so that they’re ready to be checked out. Something not a lot of people know about Collections: We analyze a lot of data to make the best purchasing decisions and that involves looking at lot of spreadsheets!
