Profile Information

Name of Your Library:

Bierce Library, University of Akron

About Me:

While my obsession is government information in all of its many incarnations, I'm also interested in outstanding design (virtual and otherwise), open access initiatives, open source software, book repair, and awesome things.

Before I came to UA, I worked as a graduate assistant for the reference desk in the humanities library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also worked in the documents section, where I, as I like to think of it, wrangled federal documents. Previously, I have worked as a circulation assistant at Rice University, which is also where I did my undergrad, and as a volunteer in the Texas Room at Houston Public Library.

I'm originally from southeastern Pennsylvania, and in seventh grade I wrote a poem about loving libraries.

Hello and (temporary) goodbye

I am about six hours away from leaving Chapel Hill for Washington DC, for ALA Annual. If you see me wandering around NMRT, GODORT, FAFLRT, or wherever there's free food, poke me and say hi! I'm trying to get better at approaching people I don't know, but I'm always relieved when someone else does the hard work for me.

My plan is to get a feel for what conferences are like so I can make plans for future professional involvement. I also want to cram in at least a little museum time. Unfor… Continue
