About Char

I'm a Reference and Instruction Librarian at the Alden Library Learning Commons at Ohio University, where I'm also subject specialist for several schools in the Scripps College of Communication. I'm most interested in using emerging information technologies to enhance library services and improve information literacy education. My Emerging Leaders project group focused on emerging technologies, creating the Tech_Casting wiki as a platform for tracking technological development in the library community. I recently began a second master's degree in Computer Education and Technology.

Many thanks to ALA president Loriene Roy for sponsoring my participation in Emerging Leaders 2007.

I'm currently working on a variety of projects using freeware applications to improve reference service and library website usability, such as a Skype call-in and video kiosk reference pilot. I recently presented this project at the 2007 ACRL Cyber Zed Shed - you can view my slides here or listen to a Palinet podcast about the presentation. I also developed the Reference portion of the 2007 ALA Women's Studies Section Core Books Database Project, am a member of the RUSA RSS Research and Statistics Committee, and will be interning for the LITA Technology and Access committee in 2008.

I will be participating in a panel discussion titled "Services Without Sites: When Fingertips-to-Fingertips Augments Face-to-Face" at the upcoming Future of Libraries conference in San Francisco, September 26, 2007.

I was born and raised in Texas, and therefore consider myself one of the (irrationally) chosen few. I attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, as an undergraduate, and subsequently received my M.S.I.S. from the University of Texas at Austin School of Information. In my down time I'm usually baking, brewing, or cooking with total abandon.
