What is your current position?


I am the solo Law Librarian for Bulkley, Richardson
and Gelinas, LLP, in Springfield, Boston & Amherst,
Mass. I am situated in the Springfield office but
make regular visits to Boston. I deliver most ser-
vices to Boston and Amherst by virtual means.

             How did you come to law librarian-
             ship as a career?

             After practicing law for over 17
             years, I went back to school to get
             my Master degree in Library and
             Information Science from Simmons
             in its GSLIS-West program at Mount
             Holyoke College. (I think I was bit by
             the bug to go back to school when we
             were researching and visiting colleges
             for my older son.) I had thought I'd
             like to practice law librarianship in
             an academic setting, but while doing
             my reference observations at WNEC
             Law School with Pat Newcombe, I
             was encouraged by her to apply for
my present position. My practical experience as an
attorney has been a true asset in the law firm setting.

What do you like best about your work?

I like working with highly intelligent people on
challenging issues and being appreciated for my
contribution to delivering valuable information to
advance the delivery of high quality legal services to
                              Cont. on page 7.
