Jenifer Holman began her work at Van Wylen Library in 2016. She is the electronic resources librarian and liaison to the Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies program on campus, providing collection development support for that program. She teaches research skills primarily outside of the classroom, building and making available learning objects accessible at the user鈥檚 point of need. Her goal in teaching is to empower students, faculty and staff to find the information they need, when they need it, in the format they need it. Her research interests include strategic collection development, open access, and data-driven decision making through data visualization and storytelling.
