Robin Deich Ottoson, M.A., M.A.
Associate Professor; Director of Library Services
Biography:
Email: robino@tabor.edu
Department: Tabor College Library
As an academic librarian, Robin teaches and encourages reflective creativity—not passive regard, but reflection that is tough-minded and resilient. She wants students to understand structure in their own disciplines so they may raise and engage the complex questions of Scripture, the contemporary world, and the reflective and interior life of the individual in community.
Robin enjoys talking to current and former students who have been taken many unanticipated places, seeing the hand of God in large and small ways.
Robin has been married for 26 years to her husband, Gary, with whom she has two sons, Andrew and Ben.
