My dad worked with “the guys at

Quantico” as a telecom to develop

packet technology for Internet.

• I saw my 1st amber-screen “home

computer” in late 1970s.

• I played text-based home

computer games in mid 1980s.

• I was part of a field test of Tycho, a

prototype tablet computer, at a

Florida Educ. Ctr. in early 1990s.

Early AdoptersDo you remember these? Did you have/use them? I did...

You bought a netBook because

you were tired of lugging a laptop.• Then ditched your netBook for a

tablet computer.

• Then started adding mobile apps on every device you own.

You might be a tech-head if:You have more than five computers in your house.

You bought a giant flatscreen TV so you could set up a dedicated media PC.

• And immediately started streaming video from netFlix or playing MMORPGs. <G>

Professional interests:Online instructional pedagogy and distance learning librarianship.

I started working for SLU in 2002 as the Florida Region librarian.

I have published book chapters, annotated bibliographies, and journal articles (including peer-reviewed).

I’m in the middle of a five-year research project on embedded librarianship.

I presented poster sessions

at EDUCAUSE /ELI and

Florida Library Assoc. Spring

2011 and was part of a panel

on embedded librarianship

at the 15th Distance Library

Services conference Spring

2012. I chaired the Distance

Learning Section of the

Assoc. of College and

Research Libraries 2012-
