Hello HST 296 students! My name is Mark Shores, and I am one of the librarians at the Hamilton campus, Rentschler Library. I teach research skills to many of the HST classes on the Hamilton campus, and I also select new history books for our collection. The best way to reach me is by email using the button under my profile picture. If you need to set up a Research Consultation, just send me a message. I look forward to working with you in class and afterwards.
