About Mira Foster

Mira Foster has studied or taught in Ghana, China, Namibia, New York and exotic New Jersey.  When she is not listening to students she can be found listening to NPR. 

Her research interests include:

  • The transition from print to digital learning and its impact on the research process
  • Evaluation of academic library services
  • International library development

Mira is also a board member for the African Library Project (www.africanlibraryproject.org), an all-volunteer nonprofit organization which increases literacy in Africa by creating and improving small libraries. 

While John Ashcroft may have called those like her a “Radical Militant Librarian” she considers the label “Literacy Warrior.”  Of course, you can just call her Mira.
