In April, Dan joined the political science and geography liaison team, where he maintains the Africana, East Asian, Latin American, Arab and Islamic and political science subject pages and also assists with pertinent materials collection decisions.

Dan helps at the main research consultation desk and provides on-call reference support for library patrons.
