Welcome to my website!
My name is Holly Jackson and I'm the Student Success Librarian at Mansfield University in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. I work with our Academic and Human Development, English, First Year Seminar, History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and World Languages departments. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a Master's in Library and Information Sciences and also have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in English Literature from Wright State University.
This website is designed to be a compilation of some of the work that I have done so far, as well as a visual resume of sorts.

Sharing Spaces and Students: Employing Students in Collaborative Partnerships
As library partnerships with other campus departments become more and more common, it’s important that libraries know how to plan for these partnerships and hire, train, and assess the students who will work within them. With prompts, ideas for goal-setting, agreements, checklists, and more, Sharing Spaces and Students can help you create your plan for student workers, ensure healthy and happy library partnerships, and serve the students using these crucial services.
