My name is Renée Bedard and I am currently pursuing my Masters of Library and Information Science at the University of Denver. I work in academic libraries and archives and am interested in issues tied to information literacy, critical thinking, privacy, and social justice. I am always looking to know more about ways libraries and archives can promote their experience, services, and collections to the communities they serve. Sharing this information through outreach and instruction is very important to me. My experiences with instruction have involved many different types of classrooms and lessons. I am always learning myself and seek out opportunities to expand upon technological, social, and cultural knowledge. I look forward to speaking with and learning from you all!
