Mimi's role in the library

As Bibliographer I am responsible for building the collection of the Music Library through the addition of current, out-of-print, and gift materials. I also select rare materials for the Music Library and Special Collections in Green Library, and work at the reference desk in the Music Library.

More about Mimi

I have been at Stanford for my entire career as a librarian. My first working spaces were located in the ballroom and gun closet of The Knoll, which was formerly the President's home and now houses CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics). One of my current projects is expanding our collections in World Music.
