About

Prior to joining the Mount Saint Mary College community in July 2008, I served as Library Director at the Astor Home for Children (Rhinebeck, NY--2002-2008), and held various technology positions at the Mid-Hudson Library System [Automated Systems Manager, Director for Technology, Director for Telecommunications, Director for Communications Resources, plus was Web Team Leader](Poughkeepsie, NY--1989-2001). Before returning to New York State, I was the Automation Consultant at the New Hampshire State Library (Concord, NH--1987-1989), Head of Technical Services and Automated Services at the Warwick Public Library (Warwick, RI--1985-1987), and a Librarian at the Pawtucket Public Library (Pawtucket, RI--1982-1985). I held positions at the Libraries at the State University of New York at Albany (1977-1982), and worked afterschool and summers at the Perry Browne Elementary School Library (Norwich, NY--1974-1978). I have consulted with libraries on technology, information processing, and digitization projects. I have served as an adjunct professor for over 10 years at the Department of Information Studies at the State University of New York at Albany. I also am a trustee for the Marlboro Free Library in New York. I have served on various library comittees at the regional and state level. I have made presentations at state conferences as well as at Internet Librarian and Computers in Libraries conferences. I review for Library Journal, School Library Journal, Technical Services Quarterly and the American Reference Books Annual, and I write a column for the Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship.
