Major Professional Activities
The following is a list of my major professional activities, publications, and presentations from the past five years. Since this is a requirement for our librarians, I have tried to set some example, recognizing that administrative work can leave little time for professional activities. In addition, some of these activities are essential to my position as University Librarian if Iowa is to continue to participate and be a leader in national initiatives.
