Melendra Sutliff Sanders

I'm an information professional with over 20 years of experience across academic and public libraries, publishing, and digital resources. I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English Literature and a Master's in Library and Information Science, which means I bring a rare combination of deep subject knowledge, technical expertise, and people-centred leadership. I've led high-performing teams, managed complex multi-platform projects, and consistently delivered innovative services across library and business settings. I'm passionate about inclusive and accessible education, and I believe in a student-centred philosophy grounded in Constructivist and Connectivist principles. I strive to create environments where researchers, colleagues, and learners feel confident, curious, and empowered.
