I am a progressive, innovative and patient school library media specialist (a.k.a. a school librarian). My master's degree in library science is from the University at Buffalo (SUNY). The "Encyclopedia of Rap and Hip Hop Culture" is my favorite reference book. My collection of educational web sites is located on Delicious.com.

If you find this confusing, intruiging, or just want to discover what a librarian does, browse my portfolio. It's a 6-page PowerPoint show that explains what I do every day!

Outside of school, I suggest that you take me for what I appear to be. This advice will be particularly helpful when I'm recruiting for a bike ride-slash-quest for funky house music, via the mean streets of Buffalo, New York. (Hint: Remember to wear sneakers... there's dancing to do!)

When I'm not biking through the city on my bright-green Takara 3-speed or teaching information literacy, I spin vinyl house music records. Subscribe to my somewhat-almost-not-always-weekly house music podcast here.

When you're done exploring my site, check out my Shelfari page. Shelfari is like a MySpace for books where you can see what I'm reading and what I've read, plus my reviews!
