Sarah Houghton-Jan
I am the Digital Futures Manager for the San José Public Library in the heart of the Silicon Valley. I also work as a consultant instructor for the Infopeople Project, serve on LITA's Top Technology Trends Committee, and speak internationally at live and online events for libraries and other institutions. I am perhaps best known for my blog, LibrarianInBlack.net, about the intersection of libraries and technology.
I received my MLIS from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and an MA in Irish Literature from Washington State University. For more information on my employment and educational background, take a gander at my CV.
I am always happy to speak to organizations about a variety of library and technology topics. I also am available to consult as an instructor on a wide variety of topics, teaching everything from one-hour to multi-day classes as required, both in-person and virtually. I also consult regularly with organizations in an informal advisory capacity on numerous technology topics.
