Robert J. Vanderlaan

Robert Jay Vanderlaan is the Cataloger and one of the Reference Librarians for the Hendrik Meijer Library at Muskegon Community College. He is a graduate of Muskegon High School, Muskegon Community College, and Western Michigan University.

In addition to cataloging and reference work, Bob does book selection and collection development.
