Kate the Research ConsultantKate (she/her)

Hi! I’m Kate. I’m a graduate student in Library & Information Science here at UIUC. I have a BA in English & Music from Trinity Christian College & a Master of Divinity (theology/ministry) from The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. When I’m not reading, teaching, or researching, I’m usually trying my hand at different art mediums, going for walks to look for birds, playing instruments & singing in local choirs, or finding good spots for coffee &/or ice cream. I look forward to helping you with your project this semester. You’re going to be great!

 

Seneca (she/her)

Hi, I’m Seneca! I’m a current MSLIS student here at the School of Information Sciences. I graduated from Vassar College a few years ago where I majored in Political Science and French. When I’m not working at the library I’m usually exploring new buildings on campus or spending time outside. I remember being assigned some tough research papers as an undergrad and it was not easy to ask for help! But I am happy to help get you started and be your guide to library resources.

Hi all, I’m Kara! I am currently a masters student in Library and Information Science here at the U of I. Before coming to the U of I, I earned my Bachelors degree in English at Illinois State University. When I’m not at the library, you can find me baking, reading, or cross-stitching. I am so excited to research together and help you develop confidence in your own research skills!

In my free time, you can often find me baking, reading the latest horror book, or playing Dungeons and Dragons. Though the research process can be daunting at first, I’m excited to help you learn more about all of the wonderful resources our library has to offer and to help you become a more confident researcher!
