I’ve been a part-time librarian at the Oakton Community College Library since the summer of 2008. I work the reference desk, teach classes on how to research using the library’s resources, and help out with web 2.0-related initiatives.
I also teach various technology-related workshops for the college’s Center for Professional Development.
