Kristin Nielsen
English and Journalism Bibliographer
I've been at the University of Georgia Libraries since 1991 and in my current position since 2002. I'm the library's liaison to the Franklin College departments of English, Theatre & Film Studies, Comparative Literature, and Speech Communication, and to the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Please contact me with requests to purchase books, journals, and databases for the library collection, to teach library instruction sessions for classes, and to meet with students and faculty for individual research consultations.
I also buy books for the Main Library's Leisure Reading collection--if you're looking for a good book to read, browse through the shelves on the first floor or look at my Featured Titles page.
