Meet Jill Dixon, Subject Librarian for Engineering

By Caryl Ward

As a public relations and marketing specialist for sixteen years, Jill Dixon’s interest in engineering was sparked when she worked for the American Society of Civil Engineers and the National Building Museum. Following her completion of a Masters in Library Science last year, Jill was searching for a position in her new career that would incorporate engineering — and she found it here at Binghamton University.

Library patrons are benefiting from Jill’s past experience and her extensive knowledge of library resources. She believes in the importance of building working relationships with engineering students that last through their entire academic career. To that end, she is developing a research guide for first year students, providing one-on-one library instruction, and organizing information sessions outside of the library. Jill looks forward to working closely with the Thomas J. Watson School for Engineering & Applied Science faculty to strengthen the engineering research collection and enhance the instruction program to meet their current and future library needs.

Jill’s office is in the Science Library and she can be reached at jdixon@binghamton.edu.
