JANA ROSINSKI has joined Syracuse University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) as instruction and education librarian. In this newly created position, Rosinski will lead SCRC’s instruction and education program, supporting primary source teaching and engaging in the Syracuse University Libraries’ information-literacy initiatives. SCRC’s instruction program is the university’s hub for student engagement with primary sources. In her role as SCRC curatorial assistant since 2019, Rosinski drew from interdisciplinary experience teaching with primary source materials while providing the opportunity to engage with students, faculty, and visitors within SCRC’s programming, instruction, and exhibitions. This newly envisioned position furthers SCRC’s commitment to a reparative framework in primary source teaching and instruction and will enable Rosinski to lead SCRC’s instruction and educational program, in line with the Syracuse University Libraries’ information-literacy initiatives and current primary source literacy strategies, to better meet the needs of all participants. Rosinski holds a master’s degree in writing studies from Eastern Michigan University and is completing a doctorate degree in philosophy in the composition and cultural rhetorics program at Syracuse University. Rosinski has held research fellowships at the Strong National Museum of Play and the Digital Studies Center at Rutgers University-Camden. Outside of SCRC, Rosinski has supported students through positions in the University Writing Center, the Graduate Editing Center, and as a graduate instructor in the Writing Studies, Rhetoric and Composition Program.
