Information Technology Manager at Missouri River Regional Library
Columbia, Missouri Area
I've been creating websites for 12 years, from personal AOL pages in 1995 to professional design/coding/IA work now. I currently work at a public library, managing the Information Technology department for the library system. I have presented on library or tech related topics at several conferences, including XML 2006 in Boston, MA and the 2007 Missouri Library Association's annual meeting. I have an article, published in the Library Journal in the April 15th, 2007 issue, on the Library Learning 2.0 project that the Missouri River Regional Library adapted and used in early 2007.
