As an Enabling Technologies Informationist, I work with faculty of varying technological backgrounds and expertise. One faculty member might find a tool to be quite straightforward and easy to use, while another might find the same tool to be complex, difficult, and frustrating; as a result, I have learned to present the same information to different audiences by relating familiar tools and concepts to those being discussed. It is also important to have these tools and concepts documented so the faculty member(s) can revisit the information on their own.

Below, you will find some examples of documents I created for faculty at UM while working at the Taubman Health Sciences Library, LSA Instructional Support Services, and older documents I created during graduate school.
