[Sca-librarians] Quick Hello

[Apolloniavoss]

Greetings All:

 

My name is Apollonia Voss. I hale from the East Kingdom's Southern Region in
the Shire of Owlsherste.  I am the Director of Information Services and
Materials for Martin Library (a medium sized, urban, public library) in
York, PA.  

 

I've been a professional librarian for 12 years now and worked in public,
corporate, military, and academic libraries since my freshman year in
college.  I'm a huge proponent of the "Give 'Em What They Want" Charlie
Robinson philosophy and have the good fortune to work for the most
progressive and entrepreneurial library in PA, IMHO.

 

I've been in Reference, Electronic Services, web master, I did a local NPR
radio segment about websites, medical librarian, Internet and computer
trainer, one man public library clerk, government documents student
assistant, National Network of Libraries of Medicine trainer and exhibitor
and project manager.  I've been fortunate to have a varied career thus far.
Now I direct a staff of approx 15 professionals and volunteers and guide our
collection specialist team as well as sit on the county leadership team.  I
still get to manage our horror, sci-fi/fantasy and Adult 100s collections.
(We're a Dewey library not an LC library.)  They'll have to pry those treat
duties from my cold, dead hands.  ;-)

 

I NEVER thought I'd be a public librarian. Now that I am.  I doubt I'll ever
leave the sector.

 

Strangely enough <sarcasm intended> my lively hood has a direct impact on my
SCA activities.  I'm a researcher who is hugely interested in researching
and creating new things. ;-)
