= Who I Am =

I was an academic librarian whose work focused on information literacy and teaching. I've also written a great deal in my field—books and articles—and done a lot of editing as well. My recent scholarship focuses on metaliteracy and open pedagogy. I have a passion for creation—I paint, sew, weave and embroider, and attempt to create bobbin lace.

= Wikipedia Involvement =

I became involved with Wikipedia through the Art+Feminism 2018 project, when I led an editathon at the university library where I worked. This was followed by joint Art+Feminism editathons with the University Art Museum. I continue to add content about women artists and writers and whatever else catches my interest, and also participate in the 1Lib1Ref initiative. I was particularly excited to use the [https://wikiedu.org/ Wiki Education] Program in my undergraduate information literacy course in spring 2019, and found the connections between editing in Wikipedia, [https://metaliteracy.org/ metaliteracy], and information literacy to be extremely pertinent and effective for student learning. Seeing the entries my students have created or contributed to is such a pleasure. I refined the course in Fall 2019, and taught it through fall 2021.

I've started to load photos on the Wikimedia Commons, particularly from my travels and needlework examples. I look forward to finding additional ways to become engaged. I’ve introduced others to Wikipedia editing through a workshop fo my work colleagues, and have written an article about it for the March 2023 issue of [https://egausa.org/needle-arts-magazine/ Needle Arts,] the publication of the Embroiderers Guild of America.
