Welcome!

I'll admit right up front that I'm pretty new to 'blogging' and am not really sure where to start. While I'm generally very comfortable with technology and the online environment, some of the newer technologies (Do You Twitter?) tend to leave me wondering why?

I do, however, know why we decided to start this blog -- it is for people who want to know what's going on at one of my favorite places, the Evans Library @ FMCC. So, I'll start with an introduction and tell you a bit about what you'll see here in the future.

I am the Library Director here at FMCC and have been since 1995; I first came to the campus in 1992. Before that I worked in both public and school libraries. I originally came to FM to work with the Library computers. Of course, the only computers then were a few for the staff and I think one for the students...! (As you can see, I'm dating myself. )

But I think it's my way of telling you that I've been here a long time because I love this job, the people, and particularly the way the staff and others on campus work together to provide the best services they know how.

Since this was supposed to be just a short introduction, I think that's about it for now. The other librarians, staff, andI will take turns posting, so you'll get to know us all. I expect we'll all have some fun figuring out what to write for your reading pleasure!

Until then, please feel free to stop by and say hi, either virtually or in person! We look forward to seeing and hearing from you!
