Name: Alexandra Hauser
Degree: MLS
Anticipated graduation date: May 2013
I'm originally from southeast Michigan and earned my
bachelor's degree in History from Michigan State University in 2010. I've been trying to gain a variety of
experience working libraries so I hold a variety of positions within the IUB
Libraries. I'm a Library Services Team
Leader at the Geosciences Library, a Student Supervisor at Media & Reserve
Services in the Herman B Wells Library, and I am also an Instruction Assistant
within the Teaching & Learning department at the Wells Library. I'm also currently the Treasurer for the
Special Libraries Association Student Group here at Indiana University
Bloomington SLIS.
During my time at SLIS I've focused mainly on academic
libraries and have only recently discovered special libraries and all that they
have to offer. I'm interested in corporate libraries and the idea of really
drilling down to focus on a particular market or product and providing research
and information to those involved in that field. I am also particularly
interested in promoting information literacy, that is providing people with the
skills and training to use various information resources confidently to locate
accurate, relevant, and quality information and use it effectively.
I have really enjoyed working toward my professional
identity here at SLIS. I was able to start achieving this through the
publication of two papers "Beyond gatekeepers of knowledge: Scholarly communication
practices of academic librarians and archivists at ARL institutions", a
product of my Spring 2012 Scholarly Communication class, was accepted by College and Research
Libraries in August 2012 and is awaiting publication. "Scholarish: Google Scholar and its
value for the sciences", written with my Science & Technology
information class, was published in the Summer 2012 issue of Issues in Science
and Technology Librarianship.
Excitingly, we were also asked to write a follow-up blog post based on
Scholarish for the London School of Economics' Impact of Social Sciences blog.
I'd love to hold a position where I can continue teaching
and promoting information literacy.
