I have spent most of my professional life working in the information industry, which I'm passionate about. I started out in the late 1970s, designing a library database using key-punch cards and using 300-baud modems and thermal paper to search the Dialog databases. By the time I started my business in 1991, I had over a decade of experience in libraries and information centers, and decided that I needed to strike out on my own. I have watched the quantum shift that the web has brought to the information industry, and I have been active in helping the information profession to thrive in radically changing environments. I find great pleasure in my workshops, industry presentations and one-on-one coaching. I have seen that look of "wow, I can do this!" when I have succeeded in helping someone learn new techniques or approaches to web-based researching. And I feel very grateful that I am able to coach both new and long-time independent info pros, and help them bring their businesses to new levels.
