Before joining California Digital Library as Shared Print Analyst in May of 2017, Alison worked in the Collection Management Department at Indiana University Wells Library, where among other projects she supported IU’s contributions to the Big Ten Academic Alliance’s Shared Print Repository. She also has a strong background in international and cultural exchange programs, social science research support, and data analysis. Alison holds a B.A. in Sociology-Anthropology from Colgate University and an M.A. in International Studies from the University of Washington.
