Hi! I'm Jennifer McDaniel, one of the Education and Research Librarians at the Tompkins-McCaw Library. I joined the Research and Education department in August 2010 and have been busily learning my way around the VCU Libraries and the MCV Campus. Before joining VCU, I completed my master's degree in library science at The Catholic University of America and prior to that, a bachelor's degree in biology at Mount Saint Vincent University.
I will be serving as the library co-liaison to the School of Allied Health Professions and the School of Pharmacy. If you're a faculty, staff or student from one of these schools, please feel free to contact me to find out what a treasure trove of resources our library has available to meet your needs. I am available for research consultations and instructional sessions. Just let me know how I can help!
You can reach my by e-mail to jamcdaniel@vcu.edu or by phone at 827-1150. I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!

Whetting Your Appetite for Research Brown Bag Lunch: Managing the Money
Library Instruction Classroom, 2-012
On March 31 we'll be kicking off the first in a rotating series of exhibits in the first floor lobby of Tompkins-McCaw Library.
Bedpan Elegance explores an oft-overlooked object in the history of medical care that provides a simple yet vital service to the bedridden patient. The photography of William W. Dubois elevates and explicates these items in carefully composed object studies, and specimens from Tompkins-McCaw Library's own collection will be on display nearby.
Please join us for the opening reception and gallery talk, which will be held March 31 from 4-6 PM at the Tompkins-McCaw Library. The exhibit will remain open through the end of June.
For more information about the exhibit and the history of bedpans, check out the exhibit website or contact Special Collections & Archives.
