Kathleen's role in the library
I am the liaison to the Materials Science & Engineering and Civil & Environmental Engineering departments of the School of Engineering. As part of that work, I maintain information guides on relevant topics such as the effect of natural disasters on buildings and civic infrastructure, nanotechnology, and water resources.
I present workshops for the PWR program, School of Engineering classes and the larger campus community on library research tools and processes.
I maintain the digital events board and events RSS feed for the Terman Engineering Library.

More about Kathleen
As a native of the American southwest, I am particularly interested in water issues and the environmental concerns of arid regions. I also spent several years of my career in a high-tech industry library supporting new product research and innovation in many different fields from computing algorithms to optics and photonics.
