Phyllis's role in the library
I provide reference assistance at the Information Center Desk in Green Library. I help with interlibrary borrowing, and in the summer, I coordinate library workshops for visitors, scholars and camps.
I also lead library workshops for the Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) classes.
