Why I am at bg真人
The opportunity to learn about and focus on open-access publishing drew me to my work at bg真人.
What I do at bg真人
I am on a temporary assignment to manage the transition towards a collaborative open-access online Mennonite publishing hub embedded within the Institute of Mennonite Studies. I also assist with planning, producing, promoting, and distributing IMS print and digital productions.
How might students expect to interact with you?
While students may not interact directly with me often, I hope they will benefit from the work we are doing in IMS in terms of increased access to research materials and publication opportunities.
