Shelby is the Collections Coordinator and Research Librarian in the Research and Public Services department. She teaches library instruction, helps students answer questions, and assists her colleagues with purchasing science books and journals for the library.
Shelby was born in Washington D.C., but spent most of her formative years in Chicago, [go Cubs!]. She graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree in human biology and a master’s degree in library science. She is new to Duke University but has worked at other college libraries in North Carolina and South Carolina for several years. Her library values center around creating a positive student experience with the library, openly sharing information, and remaining curious about new developments in academic librarianship.
When not at work, she loves playing tennis, going birding, and experimenting with new recipes. She lives in Raleigh with her partner and rambunctious pup, Ruby.
