What a strange-networked world we live in. I'm currently reading The Information Professional's Guide to Career Development Online. The foreword is written by Priscilla K. Shontz. Even though we have never met, I recognize the name. I’ve seen it in print and online. She runs the LIScareer Web site. What struck me at the end of the foreword was the fact she works across town. Granted Houston is a large town to cross but surely, we have been at the same events. The TLA district 8 conference, AMIGOS training, maybe she has even taken the Explore! Fun With Science training offered to librarians by my place of employment, the Lunar and Planetary Institute. How strange to find someone online and then find out she is local.
