Lee is librarian for the visual arts-architecture, art, photography and dance. He has worked at Duke for more years than most first-year students have been alive. As a pre-major advisor for over ten years, he knows a lot of people in a lot of departments, so he's always good for a referral. Lee considers himself to be a general reference librarian who specializes in research paper triage. He loves poking around in new databases, finding images (aka "visual information") and helping find quick statistics to improve student projects.
Likes: creativity, change for change's sake, fixing things that aren't broken, dogs. Hates: dorky ringtones, standing on the east/west bus, bubble-gum breath. Claim to fame: "I have never in my life told a student he/she should have started a paper earlier." Er spricht ein bischen Deutsch/sta imparando l'italiano.
