Greetings! Welcome to my professional portfolio. Each of the links above is fully active and will take you to a different section of the portfolio. For a brief description of each section see the annotations below. Also, if you're more of an offline person all of these pages are formatted to be printer friendly.

A Note about Advertising, Data Transfer and Links

Advertising: Due to the fact that financing a website can be a costly endeavor, this website is supported by generic advertising from Yahoo!/Geocities. All portfolio pages have been formatted to provide an unobstructed view of the content. If you're too terribly annoyed you can either reduce the size of the popup window by clicking the up arrow or removing it altogether by clicking the "X" box.

Data Transfer: Yahoo!/Geocities only allows a limited amount of data transfer from my site to your computer per hour. That limit is 5.5 megabytes. This is a cumulative data transfer limit, and may result in your not being able to access the site during high traffic periods. Each page has been formatted with the least amount of graphics and the smallest file sizes possible to minimize the amount of data transfer. If ever you encounter a "Page unaccesible" notice check back in an hour and service should be restored.

Links: There are two kinds of links within the portfolio, internal links and external links. Internal links, links to other portfolio pages such as Leadership, will open in this window and replace this page. External links, links to pages outside of portfolio narrative such as the link to Seattle Central Community College, will open in a new window. This allows you to always have the portfolio narrative open while still accessing all auxiliary material.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

What's behind these links:

Resume

This is a copy of my resume to date. Only location information is provided for all previous and current employers. Names and numbers for references are provided upon request by email.


Leadership

This page focuses on my role as the student project leader on the Union Gospel Mission Youth Reach Out Center Library Project, and my time working out unionization issues as a Graduate and Professional Student Senator.


Practical Experience and Service

Similar in focus to the resume area, this page explores my positions at the University of Washington Libraries Gift Section, Seattle Central Community College Library Reference Desk, and the Washington Center for the Book at the Seattle Public Library.


Teaching and Training

Teaching and Training explores my experience designing the ASIS&T HTML workshop series and my experience instructing information literacy workshops at Seattle Central Community College.


Information Technology

This section recounts my curiosities and obsessions with HTML, implementing library automation software, My SQL madness, and a burgeoning interest in developing JAVA applications.


Scholarly Argument

My scholarly argument section discusses how my personal interest in cataloging snowballed from an interest to an obsession that led to an independent publishable research project.


Professional Document

Included in this section are my thoughts on the institutional need for documentation and my experience developing the UGM YROC Library Master Plan and developing reading group toolboxes for the Washington Center for the Book.


Miscellanea

Random things like Courses I've taken, the iFreaks matinee movie club, and hobbies that I enjoy.


Enjoy!
