Christina Sirois

Christina leads the Library and Research Services (LRS) team at Harvard Kennedy School. LRS serves HKS by responding to the research, data/information, and curriculum resource needs of the HKS community.

We engage with our community in the creation and sharing of knowledge. We connect faculty, students, and staff with vast collections and content that we curate and steward. We are a channel that connects the world with the scholarship, ideas, and insight created at the school. LRS advances the HKS mission and the teaching, research, and engagement at its core.

We deliver on our purpose through key services delivered through two core portfolios: Collections & Library Services and Research & Data Services, which both are enabled by the digital and physical spaces we manage.

Christina's previous experience has provided background and expertise in managing teams and library finances, in research and data, in research dissemination and digital content management, including the development and application of structured vocabularies, in copyright, and in data/resource licensing and vendor/resource lifecycle management.  She previously worked in knowledge services in the pharmaceutical industry as well as built and led research and knowledge services for an international economic consulting and litigation support firm before joining the Harvard Kennedy School. She has her MLIS from Simmons University and her MBA from Babson College. She also holds her Certified Information Privacy Professional/US through the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
