Danette is Librarian for Film, Video & Digital Media. She's based on East Campus in Lilly Library and enjoys all aspects of working with first-year students. She has the best job on campus--buying documentaries, popular movies and t.v. series across subjects and departments. The film/video collection is housed in Lilly. Feel free to suggest new titles! Fun fact: patrons love to butter her up in hopes of reducing video late fees...

A San Francisco native, Danette studied acting extensively; her early claim to fame is a 1978 Afterschool Special. In earlier lifetimes she worked as a bookkeeper in N.Y.C.  and in L.A. as a game tester for Bobcat's Big A** Show and personal assistant to Miss Glynis Johns. These days Danette keeps busy with toddler, Cora, husband, Jeff, and two exotic and vocal Bengal cats-Genghis and Gustav.
