"The Library is so much more than just books. Our excellent study spaces, experienced reference librarians, and useful digital collections make it the place to be for success in law school."
I joined WMU-Cooley in 1995 as Head of Information Services for the law school library. I was named Acting Director of the library in 2002 and oversaw the dedication of the library in founder Thomas E. Brennan's name. I was named to my current post overseeing all aspects of the library operation in July 2002.
Before joining WMU-Cooley, I served as Head of Reference for Marquette University Law Library 1992-1995, Reference/Collection Management Librarian for Marquette University Law Library 1990-1992, Reference Librarian for the University of Miami Law Library 1989-1990, and Night/Weekend Supervisor at the Marquette University Law Library 1988-1989.
I have participated in numerous panels and presentations on law library-related issues, and have authored several articles. I have taught the electronic research component of Advanced Writing, advanced Lexis and Westlaw, and CD-Rom and Internet research since 1998.
