means that I support faculty, researchers, and students within those departments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standard">I joined the group when the existence of an educational TeX group came up in an email exchange with another librarian, as we were discussing LaTeX-generated PDFs, institutional accessibility
requirements, and the capacity for screen readers to parse the PDFs on the arXiv.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standard">As part of supporting the physical and geological sciences at Yale, I started learning LaTeX almost immediately after I started so I could be proficient in bibliographic citation in
the LaTeX writing environment and help students. Professionally, my interest in LaTeX is primarily related to citation tools. I’ve taught workshops on using BibTeX and Friends (biblatex, biber …) with library database resources, citation management software,
and other tools. I’ve also done one-on-one consultations with people at my institution about fixing bibliography problems. I use ShareLaTeX to teach those workshops. In my personal life, I use XeTeX to write constructed language grammars, so I know a lot of
the linguistics packages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standard"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standard">I’m hoping to learn more about how others teach *TeX and to discover what resources are available. I haven’t been using LaTeX long enough to really offer much to the group, but I do
pass on bug requests to library database vendors when their .bib exporting doesn’t work properly. It’s on my to-do list to ask several vendors to escape special characters in the .bib they output because that is not a current practice in all databases. These
database vendors don’t impact the physical sciences so much, but many of the people who come to my workshops are from the social sciences are impacted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
