Fall 2006

Welcome Erica Bennett, new Systems Librarian!

 

Before her move to Fullerton College Library in the Fall 2006, Erica Bennett worked for the North Orange County Community College District for over 6 years as a Library Assistant II at the Cypress College Library. In addition to her full-time employment at Cypress College, she worked as an Adjunct Librarian at Cerritos College and Long Beach City College, and as a Part-Time Librarian at UCI. Erica graduated from the UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies in March of 2005, where she wrote a thesis entitled "The Archivist as Producer: Reflections on the Production of Mendez v. Westminster." Her thesis examined the California desegregation case "Gonzalo Mendez et al. vs. Westminster School District of Orange County et al.", and created new ways of accessing archival materials through a documentary film and play script. She is thrilled to announce her recent move to Fullerton and looks forward to many more years with the district.

 

In her other life Erica is also a playwright. She wrote and directed "The Gift," a short play recently presented at the STAGEStheatre in Fullerton. Two other plays are in various stages of development. She also enjoys watching her house being remodeled and watering her garden.
