Julia Skinner
Julia is a Ph.D. student in Information Studies at Florida State University. Her research and professional interests include information seeking behaviors of sexual assault victims, social media use, library history, and LIS education. These areas are seemingly unrelated, but all are based in her desire to understand the library in the life of the user from a historical perspective and in the present day. This understanding can lead to more efficient practice, the development of better training, and the creation of more effective tools.
She has presented her research at the American Library Association annual conference and at Library History Seminar XII, and has published her work in a number of journals. She has served as Editor for the University of Iowa’s student-led LIS journal, B Sides, and serves on the Editorial Review Board for Library Student Journal. She has also worked as a freelance editor and as webmaster and social media manager for the Library History Round Table.
