The Library Services Team is pleased to announce its two newest members Arshad Iqbal and Joy Pohlman.
Iqbal joins the team as the Grants Specialist and Federal Grants Coordinator. He has worked with other government entities, as well as in the private sector in programs and grants-related positions.
“I am looking forward to working with the Library Services Team, building a strong working relationship for the success of the team, and for achieving the mission of DPI,” said Iqbal who quickly stepped into the Grants Specialist role in May. Iqbal received his bachelor's degree in economics and English with certification in computer science. When he is not working, he enjoys comedy shows, watching soccer, working out and spending time and weekends playing with friends and family.
Joy Pohlman joined the team in June as WISCAT Technical Coordinator. Prior to joining the DPI, she served as the Head of Interlibrary Loan at UW-Madison. Her experience in libraries prior to UW-Madison included her work in a public library in Iowa, and then academic libraries at Yale University and St. Olaf College.
“While much of my experience has been in academia, I have worked closely with and as an advocate for public libraries throughout the state,” said Pohlman. “I am passionate about resource sharing, interlibrary loan, and equitable library services for all.”
Outside of her library work, Joy enjoys swimming, biking, cooking, knitting, and sewing.
