Previous LibGig Interviews:

 

    Maxine Bleiweis of Westport Public Library
    "To paraphrase someone, I’m not sure who, libraries used to look like grocery stores, now they look like kitchens."
     

    Loriene Roy of ALA
    "Many people have ideas for you but only a few are willing to step up and really help. Keep those people happy!"
     

    Stephen Foley of iCyte.com
    "We see iCyte's application as being broad; any industry where users are researching on the internet should be able to benefit from having more structure around their information."
     

    Alex Bloomingdale of Enotes.com
    "One day we hope to create a version of eNotes which is available to libraries, but for now we are focusing on the consumer side. We do feel that librarians and libraries will down the road be an important component of the site."
     

    Catherine McMillen of Top Trumps USA
    "Many of the Top Trumps titles available are on topics that can easily be researched at a library… from Sharks to Skyscrapers to Sports… you name it!"
     

    Karen Coombs of Library Web Chic
    "I’ve written and spoken about library web design issues, but also about things like privacy, authentication and authorization, federated search, blogging, etc. For me this diversity is what I like best about my job."
     

    Linda Mehr of The Margaret Herrick Library
    Among the major manuscript collections are those from such directors as George Stevens, John Huston, Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Sam Peckinpah and Hal Ashby.
