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.

New Faces in the Libraries

During the Spring semester, library users will see three new faces at the Burling and Kistle reference desks. Simone Sidwell, Elaine Settergren, and Lorraine Hopper-Wobst will work with us part-time while we complete the search for a Data Services Librarian and while Phil Jones is on research leave.

Simone has an MLS from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with a BA in Comparative Literature. Elaine’s MLS is from the University of Pittsburgh, and her BA from Winona State is in English. Lorraine has a Master’s in Library Science from Drexel University and a BA in Spanish and English from Bucknell. Please welcome Simone, Elaine and Lorraine to Grinnell College!
