I am currently the Head of Instructional Initiatives at Norwich University in Vermont and an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science. I'm the author of the book Social Software in Libraries: Building Collaboration, Communication and Community Online (Information Today, 2007) and write the monthly column "Technology in Practice" for American Libraries. I'm probably best known for my blog Information Wants to Be Free and the many wikis I've created to collect professional knowledge.
