About Me

 

Hi! My name is Anne Marie Hules and I am the Reference Librarian for Library and information Science at the Catholic University of America. I see this blog as a way to establish a dialogue with the CUA School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) community. It is much more fluid than a web page or a pathfinder and promotes discussion. Please check here often so we can talk about trends, new technology and the general state of the art in finding information.

Let me start by telling you something about myself. I grew up in the anthracite coal region of N.E. Pennsylvania.

I have a B.A. in English/History and a Masters Degree in Library Science (M.L.S) both from the University of Pittsburgh. I am married and live in a little house in the not so big woods of Southern Maryland with my wonderful husband and cat, Ophelia.

My hobbies are:  reading (of course), drinking cawfee, watching cable tv, surfing the ‘net, cooking, creating online graphics for my web pages, walking, travel, going to rock concerts, going to the theater, stalking Bruce Springsteen (well not really, I do go to a lot of his concerts though) and watching General Hospital.  I also collect the works of John O’Hara (he’s from Pottsville, Pa.) in hard cover (many of which are now out of print so I scour second hand book stores regularly). I root for: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Knicks and of course the Pitt Panthers! Yes its possible to like both the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia teams!

My experience is varied. I have worked in several different types of libraries including special, business, government and engineering. I have worked in libraries with a large staff and also spent many years as a solo librarian.
