Hello, my name is Sylvia Pham. I am a Maps/Reference Librarian in the Rohrbach Library, Kutztown University. Much of my work revolves around providing reference services to Kutztown students and other library patrons.  I also spend a great deal of time managing the Maps area of the library. I catalog maps and work to increase the size and quality of our collection.   Most recently, the Maps Department collaborated with the Library's AV Center to purchase GPS units for patron use. 
To the left are a few links to pages concerning my major responsibilities here at the Library. The Maps page gives a detailed description of this  unique collection. The Pathfinders section links to a number of research guides (formerly known as pathfinders) which I have developed to help students  find quality information quickly. In addition, I manage the library's email reference service as well.  The Hispanic Liaison page outlines my work as the Library's Hispanic liaison. Lastly, the "Other Sites" page contains links to some of my favorite personal sites.
Thank you for visiting my home page; I hope you find it useful. Sincerely,
~ Sylvia Pham ~
