“It’s all about making information more available to people.” – Kylie Shannon

Kylie Shannon is the new senior library specialist in the Research, Engagement, and Scholarly Communications (RESC) department in Emory Libraries. She has been at Emory for over three years as a program coordinator in the cardiology division of Emory Healthcare.

A native of Seattle, Washington, Kylie earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Washington. She has family in Atlanta, which is why she wanted to move to Georgia.

Away from work, Kylie and her sister are avid cooks, particularly enjoying the flavors found in Asian food. Kylie also plays the piano and sings.

“The nature of the OpenAccess work intrigues me,” says Kylie. “It’s all about making information more available to people. I remember being frustrated in my college days about a lack of access to the articles I needed.”
