Reference Consulting: I provide in-depth reference service for OSU faculty, staff and students in my academic departments both at and off the reference desk, and by appointment. I am available to work with graduate students in a continuing basis in library research for their dissertations and theses.
Faculty Liaison: I am a contact person between the library and the academic faculty. I give tour to new students, staff and faculty to get them acquainted with the OSU library. I update faculty in my academic departments on news of any new library services, changes and development.
