About Me:: Reference and Research Services Librarian,
Humanities and Technology Specialist

Interest in Library 2.0: I specialize in interactive technology (web 2.0), social media, digital archives, multimedia archiving and humanities and social science resources.

My passion is technology and information, and especially the intersection of the two. I am most interested in making sense of the vast amount of technology and information out there, and finding ways to connect people with all that is available to them. I'm also fascinated by the nature of communication, language and the human mind, and spend way too much time thinking and analyzing things for my own good.

It's not very long, and is mostly demographic and interest information. If you do, I would appreciate any comments you have about how I could improve it. Thanks, Julie

Also trying out a wiki to communicate between the liaison librarians and share best practice but that is taking time to get going. also looking at social bookmarking tools for students to create their own group bibliographies. Like you, difficult to promote when not totally sure of the potential outcomes. We should keep in touch over progress.

As a fellow wannabe geek, I'm sure you'll want to know about Library Camp NYC, which a few of us (Steve Kaye, Rachel Watstein) are organizing. It will be sponsored by my college, Baruch, and held on August 14, 2007. Details on the Library Camp NYC wiki: http://librarycampnyc.wikispaces.com/

Please help us spread the word. Thanks!
