Library Builder – Team Leader Mission Hill School, Roxbury, Ma.     One of the oldest Pilot Schools in Boston; K-8   The curriculum is themes and experience based. It does not have a scope and sequence that matches the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Many of its graduates go on to prestigious high schools   Key to re-building library was reviving defunct catalog and exporting book data to inexpensive web based catalog. Created work flow for book processing – acquisition/donation to shelf.  Emphasized Access and Currency– lowering shelf heights, exhaustive weeding, making webpage to easily reach catalog and Tagging books in catalog. Prioritized books for processing according to immediate curriculum needs and collection strengths. All of this was done using minimal funds, 1 library assistant and volunteers.

A small urban religious school with non-discriminatory policies.   -          Built the first collection and library team from nothing for an under-funded school. -          All materials, labor, skilled and unskilled and most technology donated. -          In keeping with the idea of leveraging technology on the cheap and increasing communication between a physically separated team, created a blog and a website -          http://ccalibrary.blogspot.com   (frozen) -          www.christianschoollibrary.info  (frozen) -          This was done as a research project rather than as a school librarian. There was nothing to be found in the professional literature on how to create a library from nothing – so an objective in this project was to contribute at least one piece of data to the literature.   Collection Consultant                                                                                                         Greater Lowell Technical High School, Tyngsboro, MA.   -          Hired to examine non-print collection of 10,000 items. -          Advised on current best practices in weeding and copyright.
