New Staff -- Betsy Appleton, Digital Serial Integration LIbrarian

Greetings! My name is Betsy Appleton, and I am the new Digital Serials Integration Librarian at Himmelfarb. I will be working extensively with the electronic and print journal collections in the library. I will also be involved with PCL and serve as library liaison to the departments of Anesthesiology and Environmental and Occupational Health.

Though originally from Iowa, I come to GW from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Library in Research Triangle Park, NC. There, I worked in the Serials, Reference, and Interlibrary Loan departments while completing my MSLS at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have also gained serials experience in both the John N. Couch Biology Library and the Geology Library at UNC. My professional interests lie in the areas of serials and electronic resources management, scholarly publishing, and health sciences librarianship.

I look forward to working with the Himmelfarb community, and welcome any questions or comments. You may reach me by email at mlbeaa@gwumc.edu or by phone at 994-9756.
