Working in the Virtual Stacks by Laura Townsend Kane is the second (maybe the third) book in which I’ve been profiled about my background and my work. Along side me are the other usual suspects such as David Lee King and Michael Stephens but there are plenty of other very interesting librarians included that some day I myself would like to meet. So, if you’re wondering what folks like me do in dealing with all these new technologies impacting libraries today, be sure to check this one out.
