About Me:
I grew up in Milton, Massachusetts. I have spent many happy hours using and working in libraries. My first experience was as a user of a branch of the Milton Public Library seven houses away from my home.

I have a B.A. in religion and M.S. in Library Science from Syracuse University. I worked as a student assistant at Syracuse University, library trainee at a county law library in Syracuse, bookmobile librarian, children’s librarian and city librarian with the Timberland Regional Library System (WA). I moved to California in 1973 as the project director for the Lake County Library Project. From 1974-1995, I administered grant programs, provided consulting services and conducted training programs for the Library Development Services Bureau of the California State Library.

I've been a full time independent consultant since 1996. After going to a FISH! workshop, I gave myself the title of Planning and Training Wizard.

Thoughts about Library 2.0 Ning

Library 2.0 Ning is my favorite social network because it promotes serendipitous searching among people who have the same profession as well as an interest in web 2.0 in common. If you are a fan of serendipitous searching, check out Steve Nelson's BananaSlug, which was designed to promote serendipitous surfing. "Directed Google searches return pages most relevant to your search term, based on the pages' popularity on the Web. You may never see some of t… Continue

Thanks for the invitation. I found the serendipitous surf site isnteresting. I am guessing UC Santa Cruz connections.

Hey Gail,

Another question about DDR - do the foam dance mats work quite well, or do they wear out fairly quickly? If budgets permitted, would the heavy-duty metal ones be better, or do the foam ones "do the trick" even for fairly heavy use?

Hi Gail,

Thanks for the invite! I saw the video about DDR just a couple months ago from a classmate in one of my Masters degree courses. Is that you in it? Great moves! I would love to hear more about how it's working.

Gail,

Thank you for the invitation. I tried to resist accepting it, but I felt oddly compelled to say yes. You really are a wizard, aren't you?

Those FISH! workshops are great, aren't they?

Gail,
Thanks for the add. You sound like the wizard of all things library. What a impressive background! I am glad to be your new California friend.

P.S. Love the hat!!
