Joel Rane’s Summary
I am a reference and documents librarian, used to working with diverse populations and diverse formats of information. I've managed and supervised a branch library, done community and school outreach, and provided bibliographic instruction at the university level. I'm also a published fiction author. I'm interested in bringing information literacy into the future, by teaching library staff and the citizens of my community the wealth of knowledge now available to all, through social networking, wikis, and virtual worlds; and promoting the mission of the public library as both a repository of physical and digital information, as well as a publisher and service provider to the local community.
