Sarah Hensler is the Open Access Usage Fellow at the Atkins Library. She is working with the Collection Services team to research how the Atkins Library can use open access (OA) usage data to support decision-making for existing collections and further acquisitions.
Sarah holds BAs in History and French from Indiana University, and is also pursuing her MLS there. When at IU, she works at the Lilly Library, which houses the university’s rare books, manuscripts, and special collections. She also works at the Hamilton-Lugar School for Global and International Studies. There, she coordinates the Windows to the World project: a cross-institutional digital humanities platform which brings archival materials into K-12 classrooms. In both workplaces, she found an interest in database organization and records management. When she’s not swimming in data, Sarah can typically be found dancing, drawing, or playing Dungeons and Dragons.
