sprague staff
jezmynne westcott:
call me jez... i'm the sprague librarian, here to assist you with your information needs. : ) i have a BA in history from the university of new mexico and a masters in library and information science from the university of illinois, urbana-champaign. i've been here since september 2002, and in sprague since february 2004. i manage the collections in math, computer science, and engineering, but i can help locate information in many subjects (or at the very least get you in with the librarian who can!).
my primary hobby is crochet, but i'm also known to spend significant amounts of daylight gardening in the yard. we have a 4x4 pick up and we take it out nearly every weekend to hike, off road, and explore.
where am i? find out here
