I joined the Penn State University Libraries earlier this term and have been enjoying getting to know the university. As Scholarly Communications Outreach Librarian, I provide the following services:

• Consultations with faculty, students, and staff about scholarly publishing, including fair use, permissions, and negotiating publishing contracts
• Support for university researchers complying with funder public access and open access policies
• Open workshops on scholarly publishing and copyright (also available on demand for university units and groups)
• Reference consultations on copyright

To book a consultation with me, please use the “Schedule Appointment” option on this site. To contact me and the rest of the libraries’ copyright, publishing, and open access experts, please use the request form.

I will be holding several open workshops over the coming weeks. To learn more or register, please navigate to LRN using the links below:
