My name is Alek Potrzebowski and I am the new Interlibrary Loan Specialist at Himmelfarb Library. I will be handling the day to day operations of the ILL and document delivery services provided by Himmelfarb.

I graduated from Oberlin College in 2005 with a BA in politics and cinema studies, and after graduating moved to Washington, DC., where I started an internship with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). I worked at NED in several different capacities and positions over the past 4 1/2 years, the most recent being library assistant for the Democracy Resource Center.

I can be reached at mlbacp@gwumc.edu or (202) 994-2860.
