Anyone? Anyone? No? Le sigh. Okay, well that was from The King and I. Wait… how about this?

Any better? You're supposed to be singing this in your head... Maybe? I thought so.

So, yes, I am a giant geek. But I am also a new librarian here at the Bronfman Library. And yes, I would like to get to know you.

But why would you like to get to know me??? An excellent question; thank you for asking.

I come to you from positions with the federal and provincial governments, where I had been working as a Research Specialist. I like to think myself pretty good with company, industry and economic information and generally, a creative researcher. Before all that, I worked as the Business Librarian at UOIT and worked primarily with students in Accounting and Finance (but we have a Finance Librarian here, Xuemei – she’s pretty awesome and I suggest you try working with her!). Now that I’m at Bronfman, I will be working in the areas of Accounting & Audit, Taxation, Corporate Governance and a few others. I'm also responsible for Bronfman's social media presence, like this here blog, our tweetertweeter and Facebook.

Hmmm…. Let me think. What else can I tell you… My educational background is not in business, but Women’s Studies and Social & Political Thought here at York. I did my Master’s in Information Studies (what we need to become full-fledged librarians) at the University of Toronto. What else, what else, what else? I’m learning to knit, enjoy cooking, recently got married, and I grew up on a farm. It’s true. We even still have a donkey.

Stop by my office or while I’m at the Reference Desk and we can chat some more if
you like. And I'd be really happy to help you out with any of the research that you'll be working on or hear any comments or ideas that you might have for our social media endeavours!
