Molly the Librarian:
Your Literature Review Expert
As an academic librarian, I’ve helped thousands of students craft literature reviews. Over a decade of experience means that I can do what AI can’t - together, we will:
Discuss your topic and how you’re structuring your dissertation, thesis, or research paper
Identify how published literature can support the work you want to do
Explore and find literature that supports your topic - you’ll have all my expert research strategies at your disposal
Understand challenging academic literature and develop time-saving strategies for skimming and summarizing
Build a scaffold in which to organize and synthesize your discoveries, moving you toward a successful dissertation, thesis, or research paper
Overwhelmed? Stressed? Not sure where to start? I got you. I’m really good at this. I can help with just the literature review, or I can work with you from topic selection all the way through the final product.

“Your Friendly Research Witch”
For over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of students learn how to do research. This goes far beyond just searching a library catalog. I believe research is, or should be, an exploratory, creative, and joyful intellectual practice of pursuing one’s curiosities.
Many students have told me I’ve helped them reconnect with their passion for learning and for the topic they’ve chosen to explore.
Academic research is not easy, and many people feel overwhelmed or struggle with imposter syndrome while navigating jargony and poorly written academic texts.
I was a first-generation college graduate and I love working with non-traditional students or students who have never felt completely at home in higher education. My approach is relational, compassionate, and collaborative. I will not talk down to you; I know how difficult academic research and writing can be. We got this, together.
“I had the pleasure of working side by side with Molly in the deceptively wild world of college libraries, and I got to witness the magic touch she brings to working with researchers of all stripes. Yes, she has the sharpest of search skills and a depth and range of knowledge to crack open the most obscure questions you can throw her way—ChatGPT has nothing on her (fight me). But what makes her such a gem is the way she puts even the most nervous researchers at ease. I’ve seen folks come away from one meeting or class with her feeling newly confident and with a million fascinating questions to explore, and Molly’s game to work on all of them, no matter how boring or weird you think they might be. I had a blast working with her, and you will too.”
