What is your current position?

Since July 2006, I have been Director of the Donald
L. Garbrecht Law Library and Associate Professor of
Law at the University of Maine School of Law. Prior
to that, I worked in the law libraries at Georgetown
and Columbia.


How did you come to law librarianship
as a career?

Accidentally, I'm afraid. After five years in private
practice as a commercial litigator in Washington,
DC, I decided that I no longer wanted to be a law-
yer. I come from a long line of librarians, printers,
bookbinders and book collectors, so library school
seemed like a natural fit. I promised myself that
I'd never set foot in another law library, but would
instead concentrate on rare books and special col-
lections. However, when a reference librarian job
opened at Columbia Law School that also offered the
                               Cont. on page 6.
