Dan Greene - Web Librarian?

Librarians are long-time computer users. In fact one of the first places I used a computer was in a library. However, libraries are a different places than they used to be. Database usage is no longer paid for by the minute. Instead of one telephone line for dial-up access, whole buildings are wired with ethernet cable or have even gone totally wireless.

Entire floors of libraries are exchanging library shelves for computer desks. Library patrons, especially college students in academic libraries, are expecting everything to be online and instantly available. They may never even enter the library building. Enter the web librarian, the person who can wrangle the technology and provide a positive experience for the web user drawing from both the librarianship and information technology fields.

Wherever they work, the librarian's skills in information organization are needed and should be highly prized in this increasingly online world.

On this site you will find my vita as well as my web design portfolio. greeneweb.com is designed with usability, accessibility, and standards compliance in mind, goals I try to bring to all web projects I'm involved in.

If you are interested in random thoughts of mine take a look at my blog Library Monk.

Also, I'd like to clarify I few things since you have found your way to my site. I am not Dan Greene the musician/artist, or Daniel E. Greene, the painter, nor am I any of the Dan Greenes (of various spellings) that you might find listed on Wikipedia. I, in the words of Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) in The Mummy, am a librarian!
