Location Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction I've been an on-again/ off-again LIS student for the past four years and am finally finishing out this fall and spring term of 2009. Woo, finally, especially after balancing grad school with a 11+ year career in book and cafe retail management. I'm also the proud owner of an BA in Anthropology and Religion, however libraries have always been a love of mine since my undergraduate days doing work study and basically living in the stacks on the weekends, reading, reading, reading. I enjoyed a brief stint as a reference librarian's assistant in the Erie Public library system as well. I am eying up a position in a seminary library, everywhere, anywhere, but I do find the digital progression of library materials to be fascinating and revolutionary, so my interests in this field often times cause me to run around like a kid in a field chasing butterflies. It's all intensely fascinating to me whether it be d-libraries, info. architecture, or Ambient Findability.
Interests STAR WARS, running, film, reading obscure religious texts.
