Hannah Winchester is excited to join her colleagues as the new Education and Research Services Librarian and liaison to the College of Medicine. Hannah holds a Master of Science in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Her undergraduate background was in liberal arts, with a focus on economics and gender studies. However, Hannah knew from the start that she wanted to be an academic librarian. The transition to health sciences was a welcome surprise! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not originally from Omaha, Hannah quickly found her footing in its academic community and hopes to offer others the same sense of welcome and support. She completed a reference and instruction practicum at the UNO\u2019s Criss Library and then spent several years as the Research and Instruction Librarian at the College of Saint Mary (CSM). CSM is where she expanded her knowledge about health sciences librarianship, supporting undergraduate and graduate students across a range of liberal arts and health science programs, including nursing and the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. McGoogan Library is a natural next step in her career.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of work, Hannah spends time with her two boys and two cats, who all keep things interesting. She enjoys reading, art projects, and lots of puzzles and word games. She has lived in seven states and Japan but considers herself to be from Hawaii and Colorado based on where she grew up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us in welcoming Hannah! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
