HSLIC is excited to welcome Kelleen Maluski, MLIS, Education and Research Services Librarian. Kelleen will be providing library services to support teaching and learning, research productivity and patient care at the HSC.
Kelleen is very excited to be joining the team here and has already been impressed and humbled by everyone’s kindness and generosity. Though originally from Texas, Kelleen has spent the last 16 years living in NYC where she worked at New York University in various capacities (transitioning from the School of Medicine to the main campus and finally to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences) and most recently at Sarah Lawrence College as the Research Services and Outreach Librarian. Her interests include promoting student success (especially centered around non-traditional & diverse student bodies), critical information literacy, feminism and gendered labor, and building support channels for early career librarians. Some of her most recent professional development works include “Can We Reach the White Tower?: Barriers to Staff Promotion and Retention in Libraries” at ACRL/NY, “Making Your One-Shot Count: Introducing Research as Inquiry Through the Use of Audio and Video Clips in Collaborative Discussion,” in the ACRL Instruction Section Newsletter “Librarians Connect to Self-Reflect: Collaboration Among Personal Librarian Coordinators at Different Institutions” in Marketing Libraries Journal, and coming up she will be co-presenting a lighting talk at ACRL entitled “Accessibility for All (Including Your Fellow Librarians): How to Build Accessible Conference Materials.” On a more personal note, Kelleen is thrilled about the move to ABQ where her brother and sister-in-law live and looks forward to adventuring around Albuquerque (she has already fallen in love with the BioPark, hiked through the foothills, hot-springed in the Jemez, biked down the Rio) and welcomes your suggestions for more things to do.
