Marta Mestrovic Deyrup, Ph.D.
Outreach and Humanities Librarian, Professor
University Libraries
I am the Outreach and Humanities Librarian and also the subject specialist for English, Classics, Modern Languages, Russian and East European Studies, the Valente Italian Library, Religious Studies, Digital Humanities, Philosophy and Liberal Studies.
Because I have my doctorate in Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures, I write about Slavic librarianship and library collections, although I also write on issues concerning digital scholarship and the digital humanities, information literacy and scholarly communication.
