An academic librarian friend of mine directed me to your site. I’m a tech-interested children’s librarian in a public library. Still need a volunteer?

not sure this fits, but what about how library schools are using/introducing social software in classes to prepare us for using it in the workplace???

hi Meredith,

I’m a special librarian working in a scientific library, kind of…. as a systems librarian 99% of my collection is electronic. I don’t have a library per se (no books), and my patron base is primarily engineering with a smattering of scientists thrown in. I’m willing and interested if you could use my experiences!

Thanks, Rebecca. I got a distance librarian, but I appreciate the offer!

If you haven’t gotten a distance librarian yet, I’m available.

Hi Meredith,

I’m a special collections librarian in a public library where I also provide reference services to all age groups and coordinate our e-mail reference service. I’m considered one of the tech-savvy staff, so if anyone is having problems with Messenger, etc., my colleagues quite often consult with me before calling the Help Desk. I believe I fit your need for a special librarian – non academic, non-corporate. I hope you agree!

If you would like an academic health sciences librarian, I’m willing. Having worked as a hospital librarian and an academic health sciences librarian, there are difference to an extent. The patron base can be very different. But I digress…

Thanks again for the favorable review of our presentation!
