 A blurb about me:  I'm a librarian.   I'm interested in creating collaborative opportunities among librarians and in for students and staff here at CCCC.  I'm on the Board of a library organization that does continuing education for librarians.  Also, I need to create some collaborative and crosstraining opportunities for people in my library department.  I  teach information literacy classes and want to provide online tutorials, reviews, news etc. The two major citation styles are changing radically this summer, so I want to publicize this.  Also, I administer the library's website and all the information databases, so I'm interested in getting input from students as well as providing tutorials and user helps for them.  I also have a grant to provide instruction to local diabetes patients so I want to provide usable information to them and their families in their homes. 

Schedule:  abscence June 10  Hosting annual SEMCO meeting  (medical librarians) that morning.  Limited availability Jun 4-5. I will be in Boston.  Jun 9 at conference in Framingham all day.
