Mappy1974 | I'm an Instruction / Reference Librarian at the College of Staten Island Library, City University of New York. I provide research assistance to students, faculty, and staff of the College. I also teach in the Library Instruction program and provide formal instructional sessions to undergraduate and graduate students to support their courses at the College.
My research interests include library promotion and outreach in academic libraries. As well, I am interested in user experience studies, in particular library jargon on library web sites. I am an avid Wikipedia user as I use it (and Google) for finding any kind of information. In the classroom I promote it as a great tool to start any kind of research. I do STRESS to students to always look for cited references to make sure that the information is verifiable. When I am not in a Library, I am usually eating at a vegan restaurant in New York City (where I live) or I'm on a Greyhound bus or plane traveling to Toronto, Canada, my second home. I live in the East Village (in New York City) with my four cats. |
