Laura Spradlin received her bachelor of arts degree in English and French from Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU) in 2010 and completed her master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. Prior to joining The Ames Library at IWU as the Electronic Resources & Systems Librarian, Laura held positions at public libraries, the University of Illinois, and Illinois State University. Laura is particularly interested in managing e-resources workflows, and her favorite part of working with e-resources is problem solving and figuring out the many different puzzles that come with this work. She is an avid baker and crafter, has a strong interest in children's literature, and is always eager to chat with you about books you’re reading or shows you’re watching.
