She has also held library positions at Boston University, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She has taught continuing education classes at Simmons University, served as a reviewer for Choice Reviews, a referee for Resources for College Libraries, and as a column editor for Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries.
Her professional interests include scholarly communication, particularly nontraditional impact measures and open access publishing. She is also interested in non-Western ways of knowing and their implications for libraries.
