Francene Lewis

Calvin University
Head Of Collection Management
Grand Rapids, Michigan

I'm interested in project management and Lean thinking as it relates to libraries and technical services in particular. I am also thinking currently about ebooks, open electronic resources, and how they are being used in our academic setting. Expanding assessment associated with collection management is also an interest.
