I have roughly about [6 years] of experience in academic and research libraries. In my current role in the [University of Minnesota], I have offered library support in various aspects of the library. This includes but not limited to assisting readers’ in locating books, shelving returned books, handling book fines, and developing book collections. Having served as an Assistant Librarian, I have provided outright support not only to library users but also to the head librarian and other library personnel. I always make sure to be updated with the emerging library software to ensure that the library is using the latest software that will provide convenience to library users. I am ready to extend my services to your institution and bring my knowledge and expertise.
