Jillian is the library's new Scholarly Communications Librarian. She previously held the position of Instruction Librarian for the UConn Health Sciences Library. This role, which she assumed in 2022 allowed her to work with the library staff to develop and launch our instruction and events calendar, programming catalog, and our video streaming library. She is excited to take on the role of Scholarly Communications Librarian and looks forward to creating and developing services and programming to help our users with matters associated with publishing, research identity development, and copyright. Outside of work, Jillian enjoys crocheting, board games, and spending time with her husband and cat, Sophie.
