Laurie Allen

Librarian, Research & Instructional Services

Laurie has been at Penn since 2002. As Social Sciences Data Services Librarian, Laurie helps researchers from across the University to identify and access quantitative data sets in the Social Sciences, including U.S. Census information and other government and academic statistics. Laurie is a native Philadelphian, and a graduate of Central High School, and her interest in the city comes in handy when she is working with faculty and students in Urban Studies. She also works with researchers who teach and take classes in Women's Studies, and she manages the library's collection in Criminology. Laurie earned a BA in Philosophy from Bard College in 1999, and a MS in Library and Information Science from Simmons Graduate School in 2002.
