What do you know about my business?

Eureka College was founded by abolitionists from Kentucky who were members of a religious movement known as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and were committed to providing young people a broad, liberal education. These pioneers believed in an education infused with values as a basis for leadership. Chartered by the Illinois Legislature in 1855, Eureka was the first college in the state and third in the nation to admit men and women on an equal basis. Eureka College was designated by the National Park Service as a Campus Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places in June 2010.

PRIOR EXPERIENCE

I came to Eureka College as the Access Services Coordinator having had two years’ experience working as a student assistant within the Technical Services area of Melick Library. In this capacity, I worked on book cataloging/processing, serials processing, invoicing, and some minor book repair. I also assisted with circulation and inter-library loan processing when needed. In 2018, I made the transition from Access Services to Technical Services where I now oversee the library's collection development, cataloging, invoicing and library systems administration.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Current research interests include library trends, technology trends within the library space, book and e-book usage data, reading trends within the YA (Young Adult) genres.

UNIQUELY EUREKA EXPERIENCE

I first came to Eureka as a student in 2006 and I just never left! So many great things happened to me on this campus: I got my first job outside of my family’s business as a student at Eureka; I met the love of my life here when I was a freshman; I started working here full time right after graduation and have been here ever since. I am who I am today because of Eureka.

ABOUT

I’ve been married to my wonderful husband Jason (whom I met on Eureka’s campus) since January 2010. I spend most of my free time reading and making sure my cats aren't destroying my furniture.
