Hi, my name is Harlan. I’m a Library Services Associate at the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Library in 201 Davey Lab at University Park. I graduated from Penn State in 1999 with a degree in Film & Video (making documentaries) and a thesis on graphic novels—and when I’m not working for Penn State Libraries I’m a freelance illustrator and art instructor. What these all have in common is my interest in finding ways to present information (especially visual information) as clearly as possible and train others to do the same. I try to apply that to my work with Libraries collections and services, but also by keeping up with what’s happening at the Media Commons and all the technologies they can offer. I stay on the lookout for new library technology as well.
