New librarian in town

Hi everybody!I’m Kristen, the new Digital Services Librarian here at the Weinberg Memorial Library.I’ll be working on all sorts of digital library projects, from digitizing the University’s archival collections to using new technologies like social networking to better serve the University community– be sure to post a comment below if you have any ideas for me. As a former chemist, I’m also looking forward to working with the University’s science departments – although Katie Duke has left behind some enormous shoes to fill!

I’m originally from the Wyoming Valley, although I haven’t lived here in about eight years, so moving to Scranton feels like coming home. It’s been so fun over the past few weeks to rediscover all of my favorite places in NEPA, like the running path around Lake Scranton and (of course) Manning’s ice cream in Clarks Summit. But a lot has changed since I grew up here, so if you see me on campus, please stop me and let me know where YOUR favorite NEPA place is!

  1. Hi Kristen,
    I was checking out the library blog as part of exploring implications of web 2.0 and social networking on marketing and public relations (which is where I work at the university). YOu guys are doing a great job with your blog – very diverse and interesting topics.
    I’d love to get together sometime soon to pick your brains on your experience with implementing some of these applications for the library.
    Talk to you soon.

  2. Hi Lori, thanks for the feedback! I’m always happy to talk about what we’re up to here in the Library. I’ll drop you a line to set up a time to meet.
