Work:
My main duties revolve around serving as a manuscripts librarian for
the College's archive and the Library's special collections. In that
capacity I provide bibliographic and research instruction for various
general education and upper-division courses; patron reference and
collection development for general, archival, and special collections;
and, cataloging and processing of archival and special collections
material. I also provide special subject lectures for various general
education and upper-division courses, such as Historical Inquiry, Age
of Johnson, New Testament Literature, and others. I welcome the
opportunity to assist students, faculty, and others with their research
needs. The College Archives documents Wheaton history, while the
Special Collections provides rare and unique resources for research or
general interest. Please feel free to contact me with any of your
research concerns.
Liaison to Intercultural Studies and the
Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals: in my role as liaison
for the above departments and programs, I seek to aid the classroom
faculty in the acquisition, provision, facilitation, and instruction in
use of information resources and research in the areas of cross-cultural studies, mission, evangelism, and American
Evangelicalism. These resources may range from videos to archival
materials to books and journals to online databases. I am available to
provide individual or group workshops and seminars for both faculty and
students.
Recent Reading and Research:
Most of my reading time is focused upon professional topics and
resources, recently the nature of academic and Christian librarianship.
However, I have also spent a good deal of time reading on the life of
Wheaton's first president Jonathan Blanchard and his abolitionist
activities, including the abolitionists he associated with, like Owen
Lovejoy, a Wheaton trustee. I have also been reading on the U.S. Civil
War as it relates to the issue of slavery and the Christian church. In
addition to reading, I spend time as documentary and cooking program
junky.
