Duane Strojny

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.
