About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI am a Children's and Young Adult Librarian in Ohio with an M.L.I.S. from Kent State, a Ph.D. in philosophy from Ohio State University and a huge interest in technology. I am starting this space in order to prepare for a presentation I'll be doing this spring for the Ohio Library Council on "Using the Web for YA Services." My space here will be a reference source for the audience at that presentation.
