Video Roll


Just a visual reminder of our 2011 Award-Winning Colleagues.

Welcome Amber!


We are delighted to welcome the newest member of our Libraries' community: Amber Billey.

Amber received her MLIS from Pratt Institute in 2009 with certificates in Archives and Museum Librarianship. At Pratt, she focused on metadata standards, cataloging, and digital libraries for cultural heritage institutions.

Most recently, Amber served as the metadata specialist and content strategist for Whirl-i-gig, the software firm behind the design of CollectiveAccess an open-source collection management system for museums, archives and historical societies.

Amber moved to Burlington from Brooklyn with her spouse. We are so pleased to have her join us as an assistant professor, catalog/metadata librarian. Please say hello when you can. (She's in Tina's old office for now.)

New Staff Orientation Packet

Hello friends,

The Dean's Office is making a staff orientation packet for new members of our Libraries' family. Inside, we'll try to feature the things that incoming employees need to know. But we need your help!
  • Committee chairs: please send me the name of your committee, its members and a short description of the work you do.
  • Answer this question (especially newer folks): what would have been helpful for you to know in your first days here?
Thanks everyone. I'd really like this to be a truly useful guide, so any and all suggestions are not only welcome but encouraged.

Best,
Nancy
