Jenny is the Assessment and Analytics Fellow at the Atkins Library this summer. She is currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing her Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science. Jenny’s interests are library assessment, reference services, and information literacy instruction.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Political Science from Calvin College and went on to work for the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative as the data quality assistant, managing records for several hundred preschool students across eight locations. She also worked as a research assistant for Calvin’s political science department before deciding to pursue her Master’s Degree. During her past year at U of I, Jenny worked as the library assessment graduate assistant at the main library doing things like space assessment, survey implementation, and statistics compilation. This spring Jenny also collaborated on a research project about library representation in undergraduate science textbooks. This summer Jenny is working on an assessment/research study to demonstrate the impact of library resources and programs on student learning and success by aligning library and other student engagement metrics across the university and tying it to measures of student success. When she is not working Jenny enjoys hiking, playing board games, and creating stained glass pieces.
