About
Ariel Neff
I’m the Instruction and Science Reference Librarian at a mid-sized, private university in Illinois. I have my B.S. in Chemistry and M.S. in Library Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I serve as the liaison to our science faculty, provide scientific literacy and library instruction, and answer all sorts of reference questions.
In a former life I was a chemical lab technician for a large national corporation. I was also a Graduate Assistant at the UIUC Library Conservation lab for two years. I repaired, mended, and built custom enclosures for special collections and circulating items. I am still honing these skills by treating my current institution’s damaged materials.
I am a lab rat and a science nerd. I knit, read, and play video games. I love to cook, but I love to eat even more.
My plan is to use this blog for a variety of purposes that will hopefully be interesting for librarians, scientists, students, and anyone who thinks science is AWESOME.
