Most of work is in aid of a redesign and rearchitecture of the site. Recently I have been focused on content management for the site -- adding metadata to existing documents and examining our site taxonomy and adjusting where necessary. Soon I will spend time performing user research and assessing and prototyping web 2.0 technologies in order to increase site usability.

For each library, I set up and networked computer labs from 2-to-18 workstations and servers, often interfacing with unknown ISPs, hardware, and software requirements. I also developed and taught staff development classes on digital photo manipulation, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), blogging, and small business web hosting. Travel was 2/3 time, and I visited 38 states.

People who can crank, but let their hair down. Committed to the work and the problem, not to the politics or the ladder climbing.

Fortunately, I landed a job as an editor for an engineering organization, and began a career in technical communications. My work led to technical training, and then to technology consulting and project management. Along the way I taught myself web design, and got caught up in the wave of blogging, wikis, RSS, and the new "web 2.0" technologies that have so permeated our lives. I decided to go back and get a Master's in Information Management, and have been working for a couple of years now doing information architecture and user centered design for some big big companies in the Pacific Northwest.
