About Me

I have finished my last semester of coursework in the M.S.L.S. program at the School of Information and Library Science at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am still working on my Master's Paper. I plan to have it finished up by mid-October.

I plan to develop online communities and services that promote the idea of digital library as place. Like physical libraries, digital libraries need to be community centers, collaborative study spaces, meeting spaces, etc. In addition, I plan to train library users to use new technologies and information resources.

I am currently seeking employment at either a library or a web services company. I am interested in working for an institution which understands the value of the internet as a tool for harnessing the power of collective intelligence.

To accomplish these goals, I have gained experience in traditional library services as well as chat and instant messaging reference services. Through my coursework, I have explored the theories and technologies necessary to develop thriving online communities.
