The Scholarly Communication Department is happy to introduce our two new graduate assistants, Alexis Murrell and Matt Vaughn. Both have recently began the master’s program for Information and Library Science (ILS) in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering.
Alexis recently graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Strategic Communication and a minor in English. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Library Science with a focus in Rare Books and Manuscripts. In addition to her work for the Scholarly Communications Department, she also works as the Cataloging and Processing Assistant for the Federal Depository Library Program. Her interests are strongly centered around special collections librarianship and donor relations.
Matt is pursuing a Masters in Library Science with a specialization in digital humanities. He has a research background in American literature, and instructional experience in English composition and leadership development. He has also worked as an editorial assistant with the Modernist Journals Project and the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies. His current research interests include creating digital resources for literary archives and exploring the role of libraries in language preservation.
We are looking forward to having Matt and Alexis on our team, and can’t wait for them to contribute to our programming and services. Please join us in welcoming them to our department!
