Elizabeth's role in the library
As a designer and producer of Special Collections exhibits, I work collaboratively with faculty, library subject curators, students, donors, and friends of the Libraries. In addition to managing the exhibits program, I am responsible for design, production, object preparation, text editing, installation, and publicity.
