I'm the editor for Interface, the membership journal of ASCLA. My non-work time is spent reading, writing, gardening, and riding my bike.

About Me
My title says I am the IT Manager at the Vermont Dept. of Libraries (aka the state library). My actual job responsibilities make me a systems librarian, a technology consultant to VT libraries, a keeper of our website (www.libraries.vermont.gov) a contributor to our blog (http://webjunctionworks.org/vt/blog/), and many other things.
By general interest and inclination I play on the edge of any number of social networks where other librarians play, though I try to keep my personal networking somewhat seperate from my job-related networking.

About Me
As Networking Consultant I focus on resource sharing, consulting with library consortia, and developing statewide library programs. I coordinate Libraries Linking Idaho (LiLI) a collaborative program of the Idaho library community and the Idaho Commission for Libraries. The foundation of LiLI is the database program, through which Idahoans have access to a suite of full-text databases. Since 2001, the LiLI program has grown to include a statewide library catalog and downloadable audiobooks for Idaho residents, and a low-cost option for access to interlibrary loan and cataloging tools for libraries.
I believe strongly in professional development and have been active in ALA since 1993 and the Idaho Library Association since arriving in Idaho. At present, I am a member of the Board of the Idaho Library Association and Idaho’s Chapter Councilor to ALA. In addition to ALA Council duties, I am a member of ASCLA’s Interlibrary Cooperation and Networking section, RUSA STARS, and the ALA Chapter Relations Committee. I have served on the Rethinking Resource Sharing initiative Steering Committee since its origination, and am currently the Chair of the Rethinking Resource Sharing Policies Committee, which is jointly housed within the initiative and RUSA STARS.
While professional development activities keep me busy, be assured that I have a life outside of library work. Being in Idaho makes that especially easy. Since moving to Idaho, I have taken up hiking, snowshoeing, golfing, and I even have a garden! If you are looking for me on the weekend, I am likely roaming around Boise on my bike--a bright blue cruiser!
