Message from the Dean

C opley’s 2023-2024 impact report showcases seven phenomenal faculty. These faculty have different specializations and work in various departments in the library. Through their bios, you will be introduced to them, their work, and their research interests. You will learn which librarian is from New Zealand, which one plays the guitar in a band, or which one is an avid runner or hiker. The library provided programming and space for a diverse range of events this past year. We hosted the 10th Anniversary of our Digital Initiatives Symposium, continued our partnership with the San Diego Public Library for Black History/Women’s History Months, held a Filipino American History Month talk, and maintained our relationship with the San Diego Diocese through our Pontem Path Program for eighth graders. We celebrated the university’s 75th anniversary with a display and worked with the Provost’s Office and Office of Sponsored Programs to sponsor the Research and Scholarship Recognition program. The American Library Association (ALA) came to town in June, and Copley Library hosted, along with the UCSD Geisel Library, the “Academic Library and Learning Spaces Tour.” Also, our Sister Library colleagues at the Universidad de Monterrey visited Copley during ALA. Out of 334 entries, a panel of 25 judges selected Copley Library to receive the 2024 PR Xchange Award for our 10th anniversary digital issue of Copley Connects . In addition, Copley joined our San Diego Circuit university colleagues in implementing Clarivate’s Ex Libris’ integrated library system (ILS). The catalog is more user-friendly, and ILL requests arrive faster. A big shout out to Laura Turner, Associate Dean for Collections, Access, and Discovery; Sarah Frieldsmith, Systems Librarian; and our partners in the Pardee Legal Research Center and ITS, who made the transition from the Innovative Interfaces to the Ex Libris system possible. Copley’s 2024 Undergraduate Research Award Winners were Aidan Jacobs Walker for the 400 Level Award ($1,000) for his paper “Late Summer Plankton Community Variation in Near Shore Environments” and the 300 Level Award Zoe Kobs ($800) for “The Manifestation of Women’s Identity and autonomy in Medieval Islam.” Regarding library resources, JSTOR, a multidisciplinary (humanities, social sciences, and sciences) database, had the highest number of users, and American Literature books were checked out the most. Please turn the page to learn more about our faculty and past year’s activities.

“The library, you see, is a kind of palimpsest! Where the past, present, and future mingle!” | Joe Altieri

Martha Adkins I am a Reference and Instruction Librarian and subject liaison for Theology & Religious Studies, Philosophy, History, and the Franciscan School of Theology, as well as the Classical Studies and Changemaking minors, University Ministry, and the Office for Mission. I work to help the students, faculty, and staff in these units with their research. I also help at the Research Assistance desk, assisting students, faculty, and staff with research questions as they arise, both in person and via chat. I have been at Copley Library for just over 13 years. Before coming to San Diego, I worked at the University of North Texas, my library school alma mater, and before that, lived in New Haven, CT, where I earned a MA in Religion from Yale Divinity School. My educational experience and continued enthusiasm for these areas of study tie directly to my work as a subject liaison librarian, allowing me to help people in my areas from the perspectives of both a learner and a teacher. My teaching as a librarian is primarily information literacy instruction, and involves visiting classes to support students as they embark on research projects. I draw on my subject expertise to help students develop their research questions, navigate subject specific databases, introduce the importance and mechanics of source citation, and everything in between. My research and scholarly work are along two lines. One area of research that has allowed me to combine my subject expertise with librarianship is the history of the book. In addition to researching topics within this area, I have developed a Library Special Topics class on the subject. Additionally, much of my work in recent years has revolved around topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA), specifically as they are addressed and acted upon in libraries at faith-based institutions of higher education. I have engaged in this research with my colleague, V. Dozier, a collaborative research and writing experience that has been rewarding and inspiring. Fun fact: My favorite way to destress, ensuring that I approach my work with a calm, clear mind, is to run. In the last three years, I have run two half marathons and one full marathon. I feel my best when I am able to run at least 20 miles a week!

“My art historical background lends itself to exploring discriminatory images, and misinformation/disinformation in visual culture.” | Millie Fullmer

Millie Fullmer B ased in the Collections, Access, and Discovery Department, I’m the Acquisitions and Cataloging Librarian, and liaison to the Art, Architecture, and Art History Department. I’m responsible for non-database items, such as standalone print or electronic books, musical scores, and streaming video. Similarly, the bibliographic records for such collections are cataloged by me and two staff members. We do original cataloging of USD’s master theses and doctoral dissertations, and support two satellite libraries — the University Galleries Hoehn Print Reading Room and the Franciscan School of Theology. Originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, I acquired a Master’s in Library and Information Science from the Pratt Institute in New York City. The program attracted me because of the school’s connection to many cultural heritage institutions (interning at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was a surreal experience). I predominantly publish and present in the field of critical visual literacy studies. Librarians are information savants, devoted to evaluating information sources for bias and social, cultural, and economic power dynamics. My art historical background lends itself to exploring discriminatory images, and misinformation/ disinformation in visual culture. Decolonizing libraries through collection audits, investigating censorship of artists, nomenclature and reparative metadata, are further areas of inquiry. Collaborations with art history instructors can range from first year introductory courses to the advanced 490 thesis class. For research focused classes, such as a Wiki Edu class, I’m embedded in the course, meeting with the students several times in a semester including their final presentations. This past fall, I was excited to work on a new course “Disability in Art and Visual Culture” with Prof. Elizabeth Rooklidge, a topic I’m eager to explore further in my own research. Additionally, I’ve taught past library workshops on image manipulation and deep fakes, and how to become a Wikipedia editor. I also enjoyed being part of the 2021 summer interdisciplinary course HUMC 294: The Story of Now: Why Knowledge Matters. Fun fact: My Kiwi accent wouldn’t be much of a clue, but any fans of the 2002 Aotearoa film Whale Rider (based on the novel by Witi Ihimaera) might be interested to know that it was filmed in Whangara on Ng a- ti Porou tribal land of my maternal grandmother’s whakapapa. I got very excited when the library purchased a streaming license of it this spring for a Communications course!

“My focus is always on the systems within which information is created, and how those structures influence the information itself.” | Amanda Makula

Amanda Makula H ello, I’m Amanda Makula, the Digital Initiatives Librarian. I work in the Archives, Special Collections, and Digital Initiatives Department of Copley Library. I have been at USD for eight years, and before that I worked for 12 years at Augustana College as a Research & Instruction Librarian. I have a Master of Art in Library and Information Science from the University of Iowa. In my current position, I promote open access to scholarship, creative work, and archival material through the university’s institutional repository, Digital USD. One of our signature collections is the San Diego Lowrider Archival Project, which documents the history of lowriding in San Diego and the surrounding borderlands. At last year’s Digital Initiatives Symposium, I co-presented the collection with project leaders Dr. Alberto Pulido and Rigo Reyes to a packed audience. In my work with students and faculty, I advocate for the open sharing of knowledge. Openness provides more people with access to information, helping new discoveries spread far and wide and accelerating scientific and societal advancements. In my research, I’m also interested in looking at systems that hinder open access, and asking why, and what can be done about it. For example, traditional merit systems in academia, such as tenure and promotion, typically do not encourage or reward open sharing. I wrote an article examining this disconnect and imagining how it could be different in the future. Whether I’m in the classroom or working one-on-one with a student, my focus is always on the systems within which information is created, and how those structures influence the information itself. In other words, information doesn’t come to us in a vacuum. It is shaped by the context through which it is produced. It can come to us in varying degrees of bias or objectivity, fact or opinion, reliability or dubiousness; it’s up to us to pay attention, ask questions, and think critically. This is the heart of information literacy, and it’s a lifelong skill set that I’m always encouraging students to develop. Fun fact: Whenever I travel, especially internationally, I like to seek out a local public library, to see how it’s similar to and different from the one I’m familiar with. Buenos Aires, Argentina is a top destination on my wishlist, and when I’m there, I’d love to get a glimpse of the “Arma De Instrucción Masiva,” or “Weapon of Mass Instruction,” a truck-turned-army tank by artist Raul Lemesoff that delivers free books to anyone who promises to read them!

“I’m really fortunate to have the support of the university in my creative endeavors as well as my scholarship.” | Hugh Burkhart

Hugh Burkhart I am the library’s Coordinator of Instruction and Undergraduate Learning. I’ve served as the instruction coordinator since 2018 and been at USD since 2008 as a member of the Reference department. I’m the subject librarian for Communication, English, French, undergraduate and graduate Theatre, and the Film Studies interdisciplinary minor. My scholarship is grounded in my work as an educator, specifically as it relates to information literacy. This summer I was honored to receive the John Brubaker Memorial Award from the editorial committee of Catholic Library World for my article “College Bridge Program and the Academic Library: Creating and Sustaining the Pontem Partnership,” a case study detailing the library’s outreach to the Pontem Path, the university’s college readiness program. In 2020, I published a chapter entitled “Information Literacy and the Undergraduate Curriculum: Engaging Faculty and Enhancing Student Learning” in the book Library Collaborations and Community Partnerships (Taylor & Francis). I’m also a writer of short fiction and, in more recent years, novels. My graduate degree, other than my Master of Library and Information Science, is in English Literature and Creative Writing. As someone who has been a writer longer than I’ve been a librarian, I’m really fortunate to have the support of the university in my creative endeavors as well as my scholarship. My short stories have appeared in The Cortland Review , Glimmer Train , The Los Angeles Review , Valparaiso Fiction Review , and other venues. This year my unpublished detective novel All That is the Case was a finalist for the Killer Nashville Claymore Award in the best investigator category. It’s currently under consideration for publication with an independent press. I lead library instruction and information sessions in lower division classes focused on the basics of finding, evaluating, and citing sources as well as upper division courses where students are conducting more comprehensive literature reviews or searching for primary source material. As a former middle and high school teacher, I also enjoy engaging with the middle school students we see each spring through the Pontem Partnership program. Fun fact: A guitar player who’s been playing for more than thirty-five years, I’ve played in bands in the past and still like to get together with other musicians I know in San Diego whenever I can. If I hadn’t pursued a career in education, I’d probably be doing something related to music. In my mind, I’m a rock star!

“I want our students to feel welcomed and gain a stronger sense of belonging. I’m committed to supporting them in their academic success and throughout their entire college journey here at USD.” | Regina Gong Regina Gong I was thrilled to join Copley Library as one of their Associate Deans in February 2023, following my time at Michigan State University Libraries. Over nearly 25 years, I’ve held a variety of roles and responsibilities in libraries across different institutions, beginning in my home country, the Philippines. In 2000, I immigrated to the United States and settled in the Bay Area with my spouse, where we both worked for a library software company. We later moved to Michigan, where I officially launched my academic library career, first at a community college and then at a research-intensive, land-grant university. I hold a Master’s of Library and Information Science from Wayne State University and a Ph.D. in Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education from Michigan State University. As both Associate Dean and Associate Professor, I’m deeply engaged in all areas of undergraduate student success, ensuring diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within all library programs and services and advocating for open educational resources (OER). My research interests are broad and guided by my values and identity. I began conducting research, writing, and presenting early in my library career, even though I was not in a tenure-track position. It was primarily collaborative, which I found exhilarating since I learned so much from my co-authors. I have been actively writing and presenting on OER, open education, open pedagogy, equity, and student success since these are my primary areas of focus. My doctoral education has exposed me even more to different ways of knowing, theories, and research methods, enabling me to interrogate issues from a critical perspective and elevate the voices of those in the margins. Additionally, I strive to make my work available as open access (OA) to achieve a more extensive reach and impact. I collaborate with campus partners throughout the academic year to develop and deliver workshops designed to meet the diverse needs of all USD students. These workshops cover various topics, including research skills and strategies, information and digital literacy, literature reviews, scholarly identity development, research proposal creation, academic publishing, and navigating the hidden curriculum. Most sessions are held at Copley Library to help students familiarize themselves with our spaces, resources, and services. I want our students to feel welcomed and gain a stronger sense of belonging. I’m committed to supporting them in their academic success and throughout their entire college journey here at USD. Fun facts: I’m a foodie, and I consider myself a home chef, much to my family’s enjoyment. I’m also an avid hiker. I love being close to nature, hiking trails, and scaling mountain summits. I have climbed all five summits in San Diego multiple times and other high-elevation mountains around the country, including the renowned and dangerous Angels Landing in Zion National Park.

“Librarians are information professionals. With enough preparation, we can teach any kind of information literacy.” | Amy Pham

Amy Pham A s the Senior Electronic and Open Content Librarian at Copley Library, I acquire and manage the library’s databases, print and ejournals, ebook packages, and open access publishing agreements. I’ve worked in the library field for over 10 years and received my MSc in Information & Library Studies in Glasgow, Scotland. I’m a librarian’s librarian. My area of expertise is library acquisitions, which many people don’t realize is a major business industry. My position requires me to learn, at a high level, the resources required for each librarians’ subject areas. I research information such as product assessment, usage metrics, accessibility, industry pricing models and product adoption, as well as best practices for licensing negotiations. My current research study focuses on this area of my work: negotiation dynamics in library acquisitions. There is a ton of research about negotiations in adjacent fields, but research in this area of librarianship is often focused on pragmatic advice: “How do librarians become better negotiators?” Negotiating isn’t just about being a good or bad negotiator. Even with experience and concrete data in your favor, a negotiation can be influenced by abstract factors like external biases and interpersonal dynamics. What I’ve been finding in the course of my research is, despite what you might expect, librarians are not bad negotiators. Librarians are communicative, data-driven, and success-driven in negotiations. Librarians are information professionals. With enough preparation, we can teach any kind of information literacy. I’m the liaison to Women’s and Gender Studies and the Gender Identity Resources Center, and recently, we had a lot of fun together learning how to verify political information on social media. I called the workshop, “Should I Google That?” The students recommended TikToks to me ahead of time to incorporate, and we used a checklist to search for key information and verify the authenticity of each example. Fun fact: If I were not a librarian, I would be a specialty grocer – I’m obsessed with produce. I grew up with a backyard, pictured here, full of unconventional fruits like sugar cane and persimmons. In the featured picture, I’m standing next to my mother’s banana tree. My family immigrated from Vietnam, and in our family, food meant connection– to our history, to our heritage, and to our identity.

“Even when all seems calm, there’s never a dull moment at SOLES, Copley, or USD.” | Vanjury “V” Dozier

Vanjury “V” Dozier H ello, I’m V. Dozier, Education Librarian and Associate Professor for Copley Library. Additionally, I serve as Associate Dean of Research and Instruction Engagement. After previously working in K-12, I have been an academic librarian for approximately a decade in both public and private higher education institutions, including at the University of Alabama, Mississippi State University, and Stillman College. I earned a B.A. from Tuskegee University, a M.A. in Teaching Secondary English Education from Duke University, and a Master of Science, Library & Information Science from the University of Alabama. My current research agenda is strongly influenced by my librarianship and collaborative endeavors with other academic librarians, including longtime collaborators Martha Adkins and Amanda Leftwich. I publish and present on how historically marginalized people navigate higher education and understand scholarly impact. Recent publications explore peer review experiences of library scholars of color and how Catholic universities navigate DEIA practices. Upcoming research expands on DEIA practices in faith-based institutions and a case study of education faculty’s scholarly impact practices. I teach a variety of research-related topics including research tools (e.g., Zotero), database navigation and search query development, APA Style, scholarly impact, and scholarly publication navigation. The School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES) offers interdisciplinary practitioner- and research-focused programs for their graduate students; thus, the information needs of SOLES faculty, staff, and students cover a wide topic spectrum. One of my primary aims is to increase the discoverability of SOLES scholarship, so we focus on open access options whenever possible. Scholarly impact consultations are amongst my favorite interactions with SOLES faculty. I enjoy digging into scientometrics and helping faculty craft scholarly impact narratives for grant applications and promotion and tenure dossiers. There’s nothing like seeing their eyes light up upon discovering that their research is training current students, informing policy, or reaching practitioners! Even when all seems calm, there’s never a dull moment at SOLES, Copley, or USD. My innate curiosity is fed by the interdisciplinarity and professional autonomy embedded in my job. Fun facts: I am trained in flute and piano. I enjoy music from various genres (e.g., R&B, K-pop/rap, and rock) and almost always have music playing. Jill Scott, Agust D/Suga, Blackpink & Enhypen are frequent contributors to my music playlists.
