We’re excited to introduce Romney Adams, our new librarian who will be liaising with the School of Energy (including Mechanical Engineering) and Health Sciences (including Nursing).
Romney relocated to Canada in mid-2022, having previously served as the Science and Engineering Librarian at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Her passion for librarianship stems from a deep fascination with information—an ever more complex challenge in today’s Information Age.
While access to information is easier than ever, evaluating its relevance and quality has become increasingly difficult. With this in mind, Romney is dedicated to helping students develop strong research and critical thinking skills, equipping them for academic success and lifelong learning. Outside of her professional role, Romney enjoys cooking, baking, drawing, gardening, hiking, cycling, and naturally, reading about all of these interests.
When asked about life in Australia, she often notes: “Yes, Australia does have snakes and spiders, but they’re not apex predators like bears and mountain lions,” and “Interestingly, Melbourne receives a similar average annual rainfall to Vancouver.” In addition to her liaison responsibilities, Romney also serves as the Library’s Copyright contact. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss how she can support you and your students; she may even contact you first.
