The Center for Biographical Research presents: / “This Story is No Longer Available: Working with Experiential Media and Life Narratives”/ Amy Carlson, Serials Librarian, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library / Media, particularly social and online media, is both pervasive and fragile.

Currently, she serves as the chair of the Serials Department and the head of the Collection Services Division in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library.
