Jennie
Johnson is a whiz at solving electronic journal delivery problems for library
staff and patrons. Perhaps it’s the satisfaction of successfully troubleshooting
and solving quirky access problems that inspired her to pursue a master’s
of library and information science through the University of Wisconsin at
Milwaukee’s online degree program. Jennie manages the library’s
print journal collection as well as the online collection. You will frequently
see her out in the Periodicals Room sorting, filing, and labeling as well
as helping students find what they need and use the digital reader printer
to access articles from microforms. She is also one of the rotating staff
at the Information Services Desk. Problem solving is definitely one of Jennie’s
favorite activities, though she admits to just enjoying working with students
in general, be they Library Student Assistants or researchers needing a
little nudge in the right direction.
Jennie earned a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in history at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, where she worked three years as a student assistant in the library. She lives in Chicago and enjoys exploring the city when she’s not reading or indulging her love of food: cooking, baking, dining out, or entertaining.
