I am the Area Liaison Coordinator and Area Liaison Librarian for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Eurasia at the UCL SSEES Library.
Responsibilities:
Academic Liaison
I primarily liaise with SSEES academics who specialize in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Eurasia. My role involves working closely with relevant academic staff to identify their research needs. I select and acquire both digital and printed resources that effectively support teaching and research at the School. I also provide training and support to library users.
Resource Development and Management
Prioritizing digital resources, I curate an extensive array of digital materials—such as e-books, databases, and online journals—to provide comprehensive academic support in the areas of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Eurasia. In addition, I maintain a robust collection of print materials, which holds particular significance for specialized research studies in these regions.
Training and User Support
I provide tailored guidance to library users through group or individual training sessions on a variety of topics, including how to use specialized databases or how to conduct research effectively.
Outreach and Communication
I serve as primary point of contact for any queries or feedback related to SSEES Library collections. I use SSEES Library's social media (Twitter account and Facebook page) to connect with library users and share updates about new resources and events.
