La Vida Biblioteca

I've been a librarian since 1977. Over the years, I've worked for numerous public libraries in Southern California. I currently work part-time for the California State Library and teach part-time for the UCLA Department of Information Studies. In my spare time (ha!), I conduct workshops on various topics and do occasional freelance consulting. This is my "professional" blog where I will occasionally share thoughts about conferences I've attended and ponder other library-related issues.
