The discovery of John Steinbeck and the Drama Club at the age of 16 turned what might otherwise have been a dreary existence into one vitalized by a perpetually rekindled flirtation with the arts and humanities. For the longest time I was uninterested in technology unless it made it easier for me listen to music or play EA Hockey. When I finally figured out what the Internet was all about (downloading BritPop that I couldn't get in the local record store) I became a tech convert. Now I go to work everyday amid an embarrassment riches in terms of people and collections and do whatever I can to help those people explore, learn, teach, share and make those collections accessible and meaningful.
