Molly Keener has recently joined the faculty of the ZSR Library as the Scholarly Communication Librarian. In this newly-created position, she will enhance the library’s partnership with the Office of the Provost to support faculty research and publishing endeavors. Molly will support faculty seeking to:

• Better manage their copyrights and intellectual property rights,

While at Carpenter, Molly educated researchers and research administrators on publishing options and copyright management, with a special focus on compliance with the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy.
