https://My undegraduate degree is in English Literature, but my first college major was Computer Science (LSU, 1979/80: FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/I, PL/C, Pascal, & Assembler on the DEC-10 & VAX 11/780 mainframes). I have been interested in information technology since the early days because I could see that it afforded its users the power to manage, store, access, search, and transmit information across the globe with lightning speed and pin-point accuracy. Information technology has allowed librarians to harness the power of computers, expanded our abilities in information management, and made us extremely valuable to the world as professional gudes on the Information Superhighway. I got a good view of the "I" side of Library & Information Science when I worked as Editorial Assistant to Dr. Donald Kraft of the LSU Computer Science Dept. in Spring 2006. I helped him manage the online (confidential) review process for academic submissions to JASIST, the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. Dr. Kraft is also an adjunct professor of the LSU School of Library & Information Science. The confluence of technology and literature in the newly-revamped field of Library and Information Science that has led me to enter it professionally, hence, my membership here. It's great to meet like-minded techno-librarians.
