About this title

About the Author

Hannah Gascho Rempel is a professor at Oregon State University Libraries and Head of the Research and Learning Department. Since joining OSU in 2007, she has spearheaded the development of OSU Libraries’ services for graduate students and has been deeply involved in the Research and Learning Department’s transition to a more strategic focus on instruction activities, including an increased emphasis on the incorporation of online learning objects and tutorials. She earned her Master of Science in Horticulture at Oregon State University, and her Master of Library and Information Science degree at the University of Washington. Prior to working at OSU, she served as an adult reference librarian at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library. Throughout her career as an instruction and science librarian, she has created tutorials for a range of audiences. Her Zotero tutorials are widely used by members of the OSU research community, as well as researchers beyond OSU. She has created do-it-yourself tutorials for first-year students, as well as many subject-specific tutorials to support her liaison areas. She has written and presented on the barriers to creating and managing tutorials. In addition, she writes frequently on providing library services targeting graduate students’ needs. Her writings have also explored the use of curiosity and play-based learning principles to engage learners with library research in new ways. She co-authored the book Understanding How Students Develop: A Practical Guide to provide librarians and other educators with theories and practical tools to more effectively reach students with varied needs. As a past editor of The Journal of Web Librarianship, she helped shape the conversation about technology and web use in libraries. She and her family live in Corvallis, Oregon.
