A few months ago I

A few months ago I started writing an article for my Library School Alumni Magazine about the waning days of my life on the road with the Gates Foundation US Library Program. Writing the article was a good tool for review and also helped to organize my thoughts nicely. That article was just published today and I would love to share it with you all. Here is the link.

Also, in case anyone wonders, I am just now starting to look for another job. After four years on the road I have spent the last two months relaxing and enjoying Seattle. Now I?m feeling quite rested and I am excited to get back to my Library, wherever that Library may be.

When I begin work at my next Library or Library related organization, you can see some of what I hope to work on by reading the article.

    Love the breakdown! So many issues that even many librarians aren’t aware of. Good job.

    Thanks, Steph. It seems that being Gates Trainers and Librarians we have/had a unique perspective on these issues. I edited that article a lot and am happy to hear you dug it. btw, I really enjoy the work you and Aaron are doing over at TechnoBiblio. It’s a regular read for me.
