STATEMENT:
I think that my interests reflect those of many librarians at UCLA: of special concern are professional
development funding and the peer review process. For such an active group of librarians living in one of
the most expensive metropolitan areas of North America, professional funding needs are keenly felt.
Also, I welcome the opportunity to be actively involved in the group responsible for our peer review and
our many other professional concerns.
