We are happy to welcome Katie Bishop to McGoogan Library as the Associate Dean for Education and Research Services. Katie began her position on July 1. She comes to UNMC from the UNO Criss Library, where she served as Director of Research, Access, & Instruction Services.
Katie has recently presented on strategies for supporting new initiatives and is currently in the final stages of a research project assessing Criss Library’s OER grant program. She was selected to join the summer 2024 cohort of the Leadership Institute for Academic Librarians at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Katie holds an MA in American Studies from the University of Iowa and an MS in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois.
“I thrive in mission-driven roles and am excited to work with all of my wonderful McGoogan colleagues to support the library and campus mission!” said Katie.
In her spare time, Katie is active with her dogs. She also admits to watching “an unhealthy amount of reality TV.”
When asked about her favorite space in the library Katie said, “The overlook to the Wigton Heritage Center. I love being able to see the original facade from Level 6!”
Welcome to the library team, Katie! We’re happy to have you on board.
