I have a background (PhD) in Canadian Studies (geography and English philology) and currently work as an academic librarian at the ZBW in Kiel, Germany. My research interest in Canadian Studies was the interconnection of geography and fiction, specifically the creation of national images in fiction and (pseudo) non-fictional writing. As an academic librarian I have a focus on subject information, user needs and information literacy. Some information on my background: http://zbw.eu/e_about_us/e_profile/e_tamara-pianos.htm
