Abstract
Tell us about your career before becoming Director of the Health Sciences Library. I have been at the Health Sciences Library since 1986, first as Head of Cataloguing, adding Head of Systems and Curriculum Integration Coordinator to my title in 1992, then becoming Head of Collections, Systems and Technical Services Nursing Liaison Librarian in 2005. I actually did my undergraduate degree in French and Russian at McMaster and taught English for a year in Bordeaux, France, before completing my MLS at Western. I worked for the Department of Finance Treasury Board Secretariat and for the Bank of Canada, and I returned to McMaster Libraries in 1982 as a cataloguer in the University Library. One of my projects was to catalogue Bertrand Russell’s personal library.
