About Me
Welcome to WebJunction! I've been with WJ for 3 years and I work with state library organizations to implement and manage their WJ partner sites.
All of our state library partners are doing amazing work with community building and continuing education. You can learn more by visiting our Affiliated Partners page.
In my free time I love to sew, discover new music, books, films and food and ride my bike around Seattle.

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
I am the WebJunction Kansas coordinator and work with continuing education for the State Library of Kansas. I have worked with Kansas libraries since 1993. For several years I worked as a private consultant in the areas of library technology, planning and leadership. During the past 15 years I have watched online information activity explode from my early days as a Gopher addict. Barrels of fun for me being involved in the launch of a social networked WebJunction. Looks like my online dreams are coming true. Time to update them.

About Me
Excerpted from:
http://peterbromberg.com/about/
I am the Assistant Director at the South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative
(SJRLC), a multi-type consortium in New Jersey. One of my main duties is to
provide continuing education opportunities to library staff in the 630+
libraries in the southern seven counties of New Jersey.
I am proud to have helped develop and manage QandANJ.org, New Jersey's 24/7
virtual reference service. We were the first 24/7 collaborative virtual
reference service, and sometimes I get asked to go somewhere and talk about how
we "did it good".
My ALA activities include a three year stint as Secretary for ALA's
Continuing
Library Education Network and Exchange Round Table (CLENE). I currently serve as
membership chair and webmaster for CLENE, and recently developed CEBuzz (http://cebuzz.wordpress.org)
a collaborative blog that addresses continuing education and staff development.
I am also very involved in the planning of ALA's Emerging Leaders program.
Locally, I have served as Chair of NJLA's Professional Development Committee,
co-Chaired New Jersey's Train-the-Trainer program and actively develop and
present for our "Super Library Supervisors" series.
I enjoy speaking and presenting, and currently serve as President of a
Toastmasters club for librarians. I'd be happy to talk to other librarians who
are interested in setting up their own local chapter.
In my spare time I play as much tennis as I can and have been enjoying learning
improv over the past year or two, and recently began taking guitar lessons.
COACHING
I have been offering personal coaching services (sometimes called life coaching,
or executive coaching) since July, 2006. I am still learning how to do it, but
seem to have a natural ability for it and enjoy it quite a bit. I am receiving
training on how to be an effective coach from one of the best -- a former
President of the NJ Coaches Association.
If you are interested in learning more about coaching, or think you may find
value in being coached, check out my coaching page, or get
in touch with me.
In addition to continuing education and staff development, I am very interested
in customer service (aka customer experience) and the idea of "library as
place". These interests and ideas are often informed by my experience working at
Nordstrom. Sometimes I blab about these and other topics at my blog, Library
Garden (http://librarygarden.blogspot.com)
. Complete info about me me me is available at my homepage:
