Biography:

Johanna is the Collections Management Librarian, which means she works to make sure our resources (electronic resources, books, datasets, etc.) all meet the needs of our students and faculty. She likes data-informed decision making and identifying patterns in our usage data. Johanna has also been a public librarian (working with teens and collections), a Peace Corps Volunteer (Morocco, 2013-2015), and a newspaper reporter.

Project ideas:

Comparing built-in AI tools in several of our resources. Maybe helping with looking at data for upcoming resource renewals. Coming up with a tool or campaign or something to increase usage of specific resources.
