Department: University Libraries

I am pleased to submit my nomination for Curriculum and Academic Policies Council (CAPC) Library Faculty Representative. I am nominating myself for this position because I believe I can serve the institution with integrity, innovation, ethics, and equity from my unique curricular and research positioning.

I am the Information Literacy Librarian at the University Libraries (UL). In this role I lead collaborative strategic planning with my department for the UL instruction program and teach information literacy in various capacities. The ultimate purpose of my work is to strategically integrate information literacy in the curriculum to improve student learning and knowledge acquisition. I have been working in academic libraries in teaching, research, and learning areas for over a decade. I have experience working at a variety of institutions and curricular structures including public, private, selective liberal arts, and ivy league institutions. This diverse exposure, as well as my unique curricular positioning and operation as a librarian, offers a strategic vantage point that could be used to serve CAPC in innovative ways.

Additionally, this opportunity aligns with my research agenda as my research concerns information literacy, librarian agency, and librarian knowledge representation within the curricula. I am also a current doctoral student in WCU’s Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) program in the Curriculum and Instruction track. The opportunity to serve CAPC aligns with what I am learning and researching in the Ed.D. program, allowing me to contribute expert Curriculum and Instruction disciplinary knowledge. Notably, the expert knowledge I have access to and am developing, is grounded in curricular research methodology, curricular equity, critical and ethical approaches to curriculum development, the Science of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and diverse epistemic representation in curricula.

I would be honored to serve the institution by working on CAPC. Thank you for considering my nomination.
