<br><br>The Widener Law <a href="/LawLibrary.aspx">Legal Information Center</a> welcomed two new librarians during the fall semester as Sara Repinski joined the staff as the new Technical Services Team Leader on the Delaware campus and Susan Giusti came on as the Technical Services Team Leader in Harrisburg.<br><br>Susan began her career in public broadcasting in the Harrisburg area, before shifting her focus to banking and then settling into a career in librarianship working at a law firm where she spent seven years. “The firm I worked for had a variety of practice groups so I was able to learn a great deal about different areas of the law and their resources,” she says of her experiences. “I was happy to stay with law as a specialty since I already knew the resources,” she says of her new position, adding, “Being at Widener allows me to round out my experiences in a law library environment. I am now learning it from an academic viewpoint.”<br><br>Sara Repinski originally hails from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, she earned her Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina. She spent four years as a solo librarian at a Southern Methodist College in Orangeburg, South Carolina before joining the Law faculty at the University of South Carolina School of Law as the Catalog Librarian in 2006. She later became the Acquisitions and Serials Librarian and Technical Services Department Head before leaving to come to Widener Law. An avid football fan, Sara enjoys watching the Green Bay Packers and the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.<br><br>Both Sara and Susan were gracious enough to answer a few questions in order to introduce themselves to the Widener Law Community.
