In its effort to build a sustainable model of distance teaching and learning, Dickinson State University (DSU) contracted with Learning Corps, LLC in the fall of 2020. Learning Corps works with institutions of higher education to help faculty build the best learning environment that they can using all the tools they have available.
Hi Everyone,
The physical library is currently closed. The Stoxen Library staff is going to be working remotely until F2F classes resume. Our electronic resources (e-books and databases) are still available and library staff is available via chat and email for faculty, students, and staff. Our voicemail has been forwarded to our email and we will reply to all messages.
This piece was written by Staci Green for Dickinson’s Heart River Voice publication in September.
I began my work as Head of Library Operations at Dickinson State University in February 2015. Prior to working in the library field I worked as a legal assistant for many years. When I made the decision that I wanted to pursue an advanced degree, I vacillated between a law degree and a library science degree. A law degree seemed much safer, as I had been working for lawyers and judges for quite some time and knew what to expect. Ultimately, I decided to follow my heart. I pursued a Master of Library and Information Science due to my love of reading, interest in the organization of information, and strong belief in access to information for the people. I completed my online MLIS program through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2013. I am very happy with my decision and enjoy my work at Stoxen Library even more than I enjoyed working in the always interesting legal field.
