University Librarian Emeritus
My official title at the Thomas G. Carpenter Library was University Librarian. Much of my professional career at the library was spent in the Reference Department as a reference librarian and instructor. The Library's aggressive move into providing researchers with the best in library and information technology provided me with a fertile learning atmosphere and an excellent testing ground for trying out newly acquired skills. My long association with the library stands as testament to my enchantment with libraries and emerging technologies.
In August 2012 I moved to the library's Special Collections Department as Special Collections Librarian. In this capacity, I oversaw the daily operations of Special Collections, offered class sessions on Special Collections, maintained the collections, and managed the library's University Archives.
On May 31, 2014, I retired from the University of North Florida after nearly 40 years of service. My colleagues recommended me for the status of University Librarian Emeritus, which was approved by the library's Dean and by the Provost.
