Professional
I
work at Southern Utah University in
the Sherratt Library. As the Dean of Library Services, I oversee
the general operation of the library and work to provide better
access to information
for students, faculty, and staff including fundraising and promotion
of the library off-campus.
As
you can see in the pictures on the right, the Sherratt Library
is nestled in the mountains of the Southern Rockies which makes
a great environment for a walk or bike ride to work
each day.
The
unique architecture of the Sherratt Library sets it apart from
most libraries. Under the large glass circle is a spectacular
reading room that serves as a quiet area for students to read
and study under the stars.
