Kathleen Gust

Engineering Librarian for Outreach Instruction and Electronic Resources

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.
