| Background |
|
Jan Heckman received a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Hawaii-Hilo,
which is also where he decided to become not only a librarian but
a marine science librarian. Thus he took all the available marine
science coursework available to him there at the time. Jan's Masters
in Library Science came from the University of Illinois, and after
graduation he worked as an intern at the joint Marine Biological Lab/Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution Library in Woods Hole, MA. Jan then
returned to the University of Hawaii-Hilo for another year of marine
science course work, as they had developed a marine sciences undergraduate
degree during his absence. Before coming to UConn he was the Reference
and Electronic Resources Librarian at the Quinney Library at Utah
State University. The library specialized in natural resources information
to support the Utah State College of Natural Resources. |
