Alison is an Access Services Coordinator at the OHSU Library. She earned a BFA in painting and a minor in art history. Though art is not as much of a focus of her pursuits these days, that background in creative problem solving, critical thinking, and working with both tangible and digital material continues to inform and bolster her work and interests. Her professional background includes working at a nonprofit art museum, an academic art school library, and most recently in OHSU’s Historical Collections & Archives as a student worker. She enjoys assisting others in their research by helping to track down information, especially through interlibrary loan.
