A new librarian for natural sciences and mathematics has joined the University of Houston Libraries.

Mea Warren serves as the liaison to a number of academic departments, including math, physics, computer science, and earth and atmospheric sciences. She will provide research support and collection development for faculty members, as well as instruction sessions for courses common to majors in the sciences.

Warren has worked in a variety of libraries, including at the Environmental Protection Agency, before arriving at the University of Houston. She is inspired to offer new perspectives on outreach and instruction initiatives, adding to an already highly service-oriented culture at the Libraries.

The Libraries is the central institution on campus for learning and research endeavors, and Warren is excited about the direction in which it will go. “UH is constantly evolving, and the Libraries are, too,” she said. “It’s becoming a space that is more tech-focused, and we’re concentrating on new services we can offer to increase knowledge bases across not just what you can read in a book, but what you can do on a computer. From learning new software to creating better search strategies, it’s all about creating and utilizing knowledge.”
