Clare Withers has spent her professional career connecting audiences with the library resources and services most relevant to their needs via classroom instruction, online and in-person reference, student mentoring, and consultation. Most recently she's interested in discussing pedagogy with faculty and in scaffolding information literacy and incorporating primary sources into classroom learning. Continuing to “skill up” remains crucial to her success, whether it’s diving into bibliometrics, taking a graduate class in research data management, or investigating 19th century engraving techniques. She’s increasingly focused on teaching and learning and on understanding how to demonstrate the impact of the library in student and researcher success. Clare is Curator of the Elizabeth Nesbitt Collection of historical children's materials for the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh; she is Liaison Librarian for Children's Literature, Cultural Studies, and Medieval & Renaissance Studies and recently also served as Psychology Librarian and Coordinator for Virtual Reference.
