Assessing the Needs of Patrons with Disabilities

July 2021 to present

In 2021 and 2022, members of the Assessment Core Team (ACT) at Duke University Libraries (DUL) led a study of users with apparent and non-apparent disabilities to better understand their experiences in the Libraries and on campus, and identify things the Libraries can change to increase the positive experiences that users with disabilities have with library services, facilities, and materials.

Wrangling Library Reservation Data

August 2020 to August 2021

The fall of 2020 saw a host of new services added to our LibCal reservation system, including Library Takeout, library equipment, and library study spaces. To assist with decision-making around the number and type of reservations to make available, I took on a data processing and visualization project, resulting in a processing script and a series of dashboards.

Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program - Cohort 1

December 2020 to June 2021

The Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program is a cohort-based professional development program that helps computing faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and professionals: 1) learn more about social science topics (such as identity, intersectionality, racism, bias, and discrimination) and how these topics impact computing environments (as well as the developed technologies); and 2) develop computing deliverables at their home institutions that leverage these topics to foster more inclusive and equitable cultures. I participated in the first cohort of the 3C Fellows program as a member of a team sponsored by Duke’s DiversifyIT group.
