Jeff is in charge of the Circulation Desk and everything related to you as a library patron and user–from making sure you can check out items to telling you about library news and events on our blog, Twitter feed, or Facebook page. Jeff also processes your interlibrary loan requests, and he supervises our student workers.

Meredith Sommers

V. June Leonard

June oversees the smooth functioning of the library’s online catalog and the shelf-ready processing of new books and media. If you successfully locate a book on the shelf from a call number on a record in the online catalog you have June to thank for that.

Jack Weinbender
Librarian Assistant
423.461.8703

Jack works primarily behind the scenes collecting and presenting data to help us better understand how the library and its resources are being used. But Jack also steps away from his Excel spreadsheets one evening each week (as other librarians do) to offer research assistance to students at the Reference Desk.
