SUMMARY
I am a librarian who has been swept up in the information revolution. I enjoy research and writing. I have experience in web design and management. I have a bachelor's degree in history and women's studies, and a master's of library and information science degree. I have worked in the areas of knowledge management, internet management, and typical library settings. I have worked in the corporate, association and academic environments.
My love of research and experience in internet design has led me to design several sites. I developed these sites from my personal interests, but they will hopefully be helpful to others. I view the Internet as a great resource and communication tool.
