I attend professional meetings, workshops, and conferences regularly to liaise with other professionals from within or outside the library field and to also keep abreast of emerging technology. I also serve (or have served) as a member of several committees campus-wide including Curriculum Committee, Self Study Accreditation Committee, Faculty Professional Development Committee, and several hiring committees both as a voting member and as the LBCC Academic Senate Affirmative Action Representative. I also serve or have served as a member of tenure review committees for both full time tenured and non-tenured faculty. I regularly serve as a reviewer/evaluator for part-time tenured and non-tenured faculty. I am a member of the LBCC Faculty Professional Development Committee: Faculty Resource Center Advisory Subcommittee and Faculty Flex Subcommittee. I have coordinated and presented several workshops to introduce the LBCC faculty to library resources on LBCC Flex days. I represent the LBCC library faculty on the LBCC-CCA Representative Council.

I am the chairperson of the LBCC libraries (LAC & PCC libraries) Non-print Resources Taskforce
and the LBCC libraries Voyager Migration Task Force. Voyager is the new online catalog database that replaced our VTLS online database. Both committees involve extensively coordinating related activities in different sections of both libraries so as to maintain a coherent workflow from acquisition, cataloging and processing an item to its circulation. These duties also involve researching, compiling and revising of policies and procedures.
