About me

I am the Data Services Librarian and liaison to the Institute for Global Studies and the Institute for Advanced Study. I help members of the University of Minnesota and the broader community who have questions about data, particularly social sciences data and government data. I also resolve problems with access to books and datasets, journals, databases, and other resources in my subject areas, make purchasing decisions, and take requests for new materials.

You're welcome to contact me at any time. My office is in Room 1 of Wilson Library. You can also find me online at Twitter as @umdatalib and the UMN version of Google+ as Amy West for posts about data and chat.

Education
