Scholarly Communication
Bio:
I am the Scholarly Communication Librarian at Villanova University. In this capacity, I lead the library’s efforts to support open access, including the library’s journal-hosting program, the Scholarship Open Access Reserve fund (SOAR), and many other initiatives yet to come! I also assist faculty and students with issues related to scholarly communication and academic publishing.
Prior to joining Falvey Memorial Library, I was a scholarly communication librarian (and previously, a subject specialist) at Queens College, CUNY. I’ve published on many subjects, including e-books, open access, and colonialism in board games. You can find my publications on CUNY Academic Works.
