Selected papers and presentations
I’ve spent the last several years developing an understanding of library workforce issues and challenges, in particular those of public-facing liaison and subject librarians. I frequently post shorter items on my blog, and several of my presentations are available at Slideshare.

Several papers, posters and presentations by others have cited or expanded on my work and related content from ARL’s Reimagining the Library Liaison project, to develop an impact agenda for liaison librarians. These are excellent models for planning and execution of liaison impact projects.
