The Sciences Library is pleased to introduce Conrad Bendixen, our new Sciences Reference & Instruction Librarian! Conrad comes to us from St. Ambrose University, where he was the liaison librarian in health sciences and biology for six years. Prior to that, he worked at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids and Central College in Pella. A longtime Hawkeye, Conrad’s undergraduate and graduate degrees are both from the University of Iowa, as well as his partner’s PhD! His return to campus feels like a welcome homecoming.
Conrad is looking forward to supporting and enhancing the work of the students and faculty in his liaison departments, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Mathematics. Conrad will be giving workshops, classroom instruction, reference help, and research consultations. He can create course materials that support information literacy and illustrate the use of library resources. Feel free to contact him at conrad-bendixen@uiowa.edu or 319-467-1395. Conrad’s office is room E237 in the Chemistry Building. Please stop by to say hello!
