New Mexico State U. Librarian Featured in National Public Radio (NPR) Report

Molly Molloy, a librarian at New Mexico State University, was featured in a National Public Radio report that was broadcast and webcast on Sunday during the Weekend Edition Sunday program.

The title of the four minute report is, "Librarian Compiles Juarez Drug Death Data."

From a Report Summary:

Molly Molloy, a librarian at New Mexico State University, compiles what is believed to be the most comprehensive database of drug-cartel-related killings in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. "What I try to do is essentially get the best reports I can from local newspapers," says Molloy, who has been working on disseminating information about the Mexico border since the early 2000s. "All of a sudden in 2008, the murders began to be 200 a month or more. And by the end of 2008, the number…increased by more than five times."
