I am the first Online Services Librarian in the history of the The San Diego Mesa College Library. I have launched our 24/7 reference service and I administer it’s daily upkeep. Our website redesign is slated for launch this summer and we will be including an IM reference chat widget to our Ask A Librarian component. I am also including screencast tutorials with closed captioning in the website so that we can begin our distance education teaching of information literacy. I have embedded myself in a few online English classes (to my knowledge, not done before at my institution), I have given special faculty training on del.icio.us and databases and weeded the technology section of our monograph collection for perhaps the first time in the history of our library (I had previously thought books on Y2K were old!).

On the side I am a full time doctoral student with Pepperdine University in Education Technology and have just begun my first term of the dissertation. I also have a blog at The Animated Librarian where I muse about tech and library issues. As I hop on my Harley and ride off to do my kickboxing training I will graciously accept this award on behalf of me. Yeah me!
