Please welcome Isabella Baxter, our next Agriculture and Natural Resources Librarian.  Starting July 1, Ms. Baxter will join the Pendergrass Library team as liaison librarian to the many programs in the Institute of Agriculture including CASNR, AgResearch, and Extension.  Ms. Baxter will assist with agriculture research questions, instruction, citation management, scholarly publishing, and more.

Ms. Baxter completed her Master of Library and Information Science at Syracuse University in New York.  Prior to graduate school, she earned her bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in biology from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.

While completing her master’s, Ms. Baxter was awarded two graduate assistantships in the Syracuse Bird Library, one in access/resource sharing and the other in their Learning Commons.  In both appointments, Ms. Baxter provided in-person and online research help and technology support.  She also worked as a graduate intern at Le Moyne College in New York where she concentrated in STEM librarianship.  This will be Ms. Baxter’s first professional appointment.

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Baxter to UTIA.
