Caro Pinto

Caro Pinto joined Mount Holyoke in 2013. Previously, she was a manuscript librarian at Yale University’s Sterling Memorial Library and the Critical Social Inquiry Librarian at Hampshire College. A member of the Association of College and Research Libraries, she served on committees in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section, the Women’s and Gender Studies Section, and the ACRL Conference Coordinating Committee. Pinto has an active research agenda; in addition to the various presentations she gives at local and national conferences, she’s also published or co-published several book chapters from ACRL Press; one on digital humanities and subject librarians, a second on critical pedagogy in liberal arts education, a third about contemplative pedagogy, and most recently, a hybrid form essay on how to thrive as a mid-career librarian. Her written work also appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Archive Journal, and In the Library with the Lead Pipe.
