tal ness

I liaise with the Linguistics department and support the research and teaching needs of the Linguistics department and the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Studies. I acquire materials for linguistics and cognitive studies; assist patrons in using print and electronic resources effectively, and provide library instruction and research consultations in linguistics and adjacent fields.  

As the Social Sciences Resident Librarian, I work within the Social Sciences department, actively participating in the development of library services, programs, and workshops that address campus needs and have diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as the through lines. I additionally support students and faculty engaged in qualitative research and connect them with available campus resources.
