Education
Jana's first thoughts of the library world were while twice reading The World Book Encyclopedia, cover to cover, during one-room schoolhouse days. Another memorable reading moment was learning about The Birds & The Bees from Webster's New World Dictionary.
She completed undergraduate work in English Education and Library Science at Wayne (NE) State College. Her graduate library degree is from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and her Ed. Specialist degree in Library Research from UW-Madison. Before coming to Stout, she was a public school librarian.
Jana says she's been at UW-Stout "a while" ... since 1982 to be exact.
Responsibilities
Jana is the Reference Work Group Leader who, along with eight other librarians, provides reference service for the Stout Community.

Recent projects include co-producing Celebrating the Past...Embracing the Future for the Library's 100th Anniversary; presenting library research skills, in streaming video, for an on-line graduate program; working with reference librarians to redesign the Reference Area and contributing to a new textbook on distance librarianship.
