Porciello, Jaron

Assistant Librarian

I am a Special Projects Librarian, currently working on two projects: VIVO, the Cornell Research and Scholarship discovery tool, and an international reference services project focused on PhD Plant Breeders at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) and at the University of Ghana (Ghana). I also work closely with The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library (TEEAL) and Access to Online Global Literature in Agricultural (AGORA).
