New Faces in the Libraries

Julia Bauder is the new Data Services Librarian. (In plain English, that means she’s the librarian to see when you need numbers—statistics, data, facts and figures, etc.) She is also the library’s resident techno-geek and a hopeless news junkie. Prior to joining the Grinnell College Libraries she was a Detroit-based freelance writer. She received her B.A. in Politics from Simon's Rock College of Bard in Massachusetts, and her M.L.I.S. from Wayne State University.

Liz Rodrigues has a Master of Arts in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida and is completing an MFA in poetry at Florida Atlantic University. She received her BA in English from Kenyon College and is thrilled to return to small town Midwestern life as a one-year term Reference & Instruction Librarian.
