Since I left St. Ambrose University I've been publishing an e-zine for librarians, speaking at conferences all over the country, and writing columns and magazine articles. I've also published two books. Best Information on the Net (BIOTN) is now maintained by my former colleagues, but I took BookBytes and Neat New Stuff with me. You'll find them here, along with links to all my other work.
