Meliantha

Meliantha LelieveldWorks at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences as coordinator of the libraries at the Amstelcampus.
Once upon a time I studied archaeology, but that's buried in the past. Nowadays I focus on helping our students find their books, connect to our wifi and use our online sources and making sure there are colleagues at all our servicepoints doing the same.
Personal: during weekends you can find me at the ruins of Teylingen Castle or one of the wonderful musea somewhere in the Netherlands. Drives a motorcycle or takes the train. Rarely cycles or runs. Contact details
