Director of Distance & Online Library Services (Dr. Atkinson)

Hello!

My name is Dr. Melissa Atkinson, and I am the Director of Distance & Online Library Services at the ACU Library. My colleague, Avery Weems, is the Distance & Online Services Librarian. You can contact either of us for help with selecting and refining a research topic, searching our databases, troubleshooting access issues, getting citation help, or other library help. My focus is helping you with your dissertation topic selection and narrowing your topic.

I have earned a B.S. in mathematics education (ACU, 1994), a M.S.L.S. (UNT, 2000), and a Ph.D. (Regent University, 2019). I have been a librarian at ACU for 23 years. My doctoral program was primarily an online program and my concentration was distance education.
