I’ve been at Bryn Mawr since 1984; indeed, Bryn Mawr has been my only full-time professional employer.  I am now in at least my fourth position; since 2000 I have served the Tri-College and Bryn Mawr libraries as electronic information resources licensing librarian and general negotiator/money tender. In 2002 I became Coordinator of the Humanities Node, adding Sciences in 2004 and relinquishing Humanities in 2007 but remaining Director of the Nodes.  Along the way I hope to have advanced the integration of library, information and instructional technology services for the disciplines in serving as a general advocate for both the staff of Information Services and our broader user community where our interests intersect.

I hold a BA (Drew) and MA (Bryn Mawr) in history along with an MS (Drexel) in Library and Information Science.  I review books regularly for Library Journal, specializing in cultural and intellectual history and criticism, and was awarded LJ's 2004 Book Reviewer of the Year award.  In 2004-2006 I was a member of  the American Library Association’s Notable Books jury.

I am married with two daughters, four cats and a dog.  I have a deep love of jazz (spreading into roots music), the written word, the state of Maine and making trouble.  Since a family trip to South Africa and Zambia this past summer I now include Africa high in my mix of passions as well.

My official work home is Guild Hall, Bryn Mawr College (ssilverm@brynmawr.edu, 610/526-5281), and I promise I look forward to helping out folks however I can.

I have been the CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Scholarly Information and Resources at Bryn Mawr since July, 2004.  I am involved with special projects involving digital images and love to help students discover and use primary resources for their academic work.  Currently I am preparing a database and collection guide for materials left to the College by Theresa Helburn (BA, 1908), producer of New York's Theatre Guild. This collection includes programs, scene plans, advertisements, playscripts, and over 1000 photographs, and is jointly held by the Special Collections Department and the Art and Archaeology  Collection.

Prior to working at Bryn Mawr, I held a fellowship in Theatre History and IT Modelling at Warwick University in Coventry, England.  My interests include travel, film, mystery novels, Jane Austen, and architecture, especially the playhouses of 17th-century France and the early theaters of Philadelphia.

You can contact me at cwillifo[at]brynmawr[dot]edu or visit my desk in the Special Collections Department, on the 2nd floor of Canaday Library.
