The Sciences Library is pleased to introduce Carol Hollier, our new Sciences Reference and Outreach Librarian! Carol comes to us from IFIS (International Food Information Services) Publishing in the UK, where she was Senior Information Literacy and Outreach Manager for the past four years.  At IFIS, Carol supported food science researchers around the world, creating guidance for good practice for literature searching, systematic reviews, and complex searching in the field.  Prior to that she worked in subject librarian roles at the Universities of Nottingham and the University of Lincoln, also in the UK.  Her first librarian job was at Ohio State University.  Carol graduated from Reed College, and her Master’s in Librarian and Information Science is from Kent State University.

Carol is excited to be at the University of Iowa Libraries and is looking forward to working with the students, staff, and faculty in her liaison departments, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy, and Statistics and Actuarial Science. Carol will be giving workshops, classroom instruction, reference help, and research consultations. She can create course materials that support information literacy and the use of library resources. Feel free to contact her at carol-hollier@uiowa.edu or 319-467-4535. Carol’s office is room 450 Van Allen Hall. Please stop by to say hello!
