Dorothy Gebert

I am a published writer, editor, and tutor with experience in writing centres, newspapers, freelancing, and public relations. I am knowledgeable in grammar and referencing styles and have expertise in many different types of writing, including proposals, reports, media releases, articles, advertisements, editorials, essays, and more.

I am currently interested in academic writing as a genre and how students can use its structure and format to better communicate their ideas.

I am a librarian, just finishing my MLIS degree, with library work experience in reference, circulation, and promotion. I have been involved in adult programming, most recently at the Collingwood Public Library, leading the Arts Advisory Council and hosting Georgian Bay Reads, an annual literary event promoting Canadian writing.

I am also an avid library traveler, having visited cultural institutions around the world, including many famous libraries and museums.

I am a communications specialist with experience in teaching, speaking, marketing, graphic design, media, and events management. As well as designing attention-getting promotional materials in print and electronic formats, I have taught Business Communication at Fanshawe College and presented at the Ontario Library Association Conference.

To further my teaching abilities, I am pursuing a Certificate in University Teaching and Learning at Western University.

Collecting research and using it in writing are indivisible elements of creating essays, reports, and other works. Therefore, knowing the ins and outs of information retrieval and composition creation are important for both librarians and writing specialists who seek to assist students and other writers.

I combine the research information literacy of a librarian with the stylish textual expertise of a writing specialist to assist writers along the entire continuum of their projects. Whether in a library, writing centre, or learning commons, I initiate students of all levels into the mysteries of finding research information and using it in their writing to communicate more effectively.
