COVER LETTER I received a Master of Arts in Information Resources and Library

Science from the University of Arizona in May 2009. I also have a bachelor’s degree in biology from Northern Arizona

University. During my graduate work, I further developed my knowledge of

science and engineering information resources through coursework , including a semester long project where I created an annotated science resource web guide.

I have used many different web authoring tools, and I am proficient in Microsoft Office. I am skilled at searching proprietary library databases, and I am familiar with course management software. In addition, I have used screen capturing software and an audio recorder to create an interactive web tutorial, “Advanced Searching in ScienceDirect,” for a graduate class.
