Talk: “University Library Book Acquisitions Policies in an Electronic Age”
Panel: “The Digital Age Library”

I am currently an M.A. candidate at the University of Windsor in History with a focus on Atlantic print culture and its impact upon regional and national identity formation in late eighteen century colonial Halifax Nova Scotia. In terms of my academic background I hold graduate degrees in English: Public Texts (Trent 2009), Library and Information Science (UWO 2007), and an Interdisciplinary M.A. in Humanities: Interpretation and Values (Laurentian 2005), as well as undergraduate degrees in the Classics (Trent 2003), Great Books/Liberal Studies and English Literature (Brock 2002), Political Theory (Trent 2000), and a combined Honours Bachelor of Arts in History and Philosophy (UWO 1998). In the past several years I have worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at both Trent University and the University of Windsor, and held Graduate Research positions at Trent and Laurentian University. I have also spent time working at the Canadian Canoe Museum as an Administrative Intern, in Algonquin Provincial Park as an ornithological and forestry researcher, and in academic libraries as a reference assistant. In terms of scholarship my primary interest is in Book History/Print Culture, literary institutions, and the impact of technological change upon social, political, and academic culture and discourse.
