Please join the library in congratulating Jaimelyn Lombardo, our new Electronic Resources Coordinator!
If Jaime looks familiar, that's because she was a student here and has worked in the library in various roles for the past 17 years! In 2006, she came to Richard E Bjork Library while working on her Bachelor's Degree in Literature (2011 Alumni, Go Ospreys!). She worked in the Circulation Department until 2014 when she transitioned to Technical Services and was most recently our Electronic Resources & Periodicals Specialist.
In her new role as Electronic Resources Coordinator, Jaime will be responsible for providing leadership and strategic management, managing the lifecycle of online journals, e-books, databases, and streaming media. She will also ensure the library's discovery service accurately reflects e -resource holdings from local purchases and subscriptions, consortial arrangements, and other sources. In addition, she will maintain and improve e-resources access; diagnose and troubleshoot access and linking problems; and serve as the library's point of contact for access issues.
Jaime can be contacted at Jaimelyn.Lombardo@stockton.edu.

The teachers had the opportunity to do hands-on research and planning with the collections, as they came up with ideas to use in their classrooms.
Ideas included:
The educators in the workshop enjoyed being students for the day and especially enjoyed getting to work with and explore our special collections. Our Special Collections are available to anyone in the community, and we invite everyone to visit.
