Kelly Cox, MLIS
Digital Content & Experiences Librarian
Cedar Crest College
Kelly Cox is the Digital Content and Experiences Librarian in Cressman Library at Cedar Crest College, a small liberal arts, primarily-women’s college in Allentown, Pennsylvania. With a background in digital communications and varied public and academic library experience, Kelly joined Cressman Library in September 2024, stepping into a role combining electronic resources management, collection development, and user experience. Still adjusting to the wild world of wrangling e-resources, and settling in with a relatively new team at Cressman Library, she’s thrilled at the opportunity to attend ER&L this year to make new connections, learn from this brilliant community, and bring back lots of new ideas!
