As Serials Specialist, Marilyn checks all of the new journals, magazines, and newspapers as they arrive and makes sure they get on the shelves quickly. She coordinates with Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore librarians to maintain accurate holdings information in the library catalog. Increasingly, Marilyn spends much of her time managing electronic resources, including full-text scholarly journal collections like JSTOR as well as the many databases to which the College subscribes. Prices, delivery methods, and license restrictions change frequently, and Marilyn has her hands full making it possible for Haverford students and faculty to find and access the many articles they use in their work.
