For almost 5 years, the OCAC library has thrived under the leadership of Elsa Loftis, our Director of Library Services. We congratulate Elsa, as she moves into a new leadership position, the Humanities and Acquisitions Librarian at Portland State University. The entire OCAC community misses Elsa’s boundless energy and inspirational passion for supporting students and faculty in their research and studies.
Elsa has also been a wonderful mentor, leader and boss. For two years, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Elsa, as I complete my Masters in Library Science (MLS). In her absence, I am serving as Interim Director of Library Services–big shoes to fill, I know!
I am honored and excited to serve as the Interim Director at our special little library, where BIG things happen. If you have a chance, feel free to stop by, say hello or even email me with any library/research questions!
