Hello there!

I’m Veron­i­ca Alzalde Wells — aca­d­e­m­ic librar­i­an, admin­is­tra­tor, and yoga teacher. I’m the Assis­tant Dean for User Ser­vices & Pro­grams at the Uni­ver­si­ty of the Pacif­ic. I’ve been teach­ing and prac­tic­ing yoga for over 10 years.

I research, prac­tice, and write on crit­i­cal librar­i­an­ship, crit­i­cal (music) infor­ma­tion lit­er­a­cy, and yoga.

In 2018 I co-authored the book, The His­tor­i­cal Dic­tio­nary of the Amer­i­can Music Indus­try, with Kei­th Hatschek.
