I was hired as temporary summer help when the library began their automation project. I and five other local college students were hired to barcode the collection and add the item information to the new online catalog. I worked the next summer also as we didn’t
finish adding all 200,000+ items to the catalog the previous summer.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

libraries. One responsibility was to download the bookmobile circulation from floppy disks to the library catalog. Weekly I backed up the database on large tapes. The tapes were larger than a VHS tape. We stored a full copy of the database in the safe at the
local bank. The database hard drives at that time were so heavy, it took two men to lift them into the racks. They failed frequently.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

I met so many wonderful people traveling in the rural countryside. We served the following counties: Noble, Perry, Washington, Monroe, Harrison, Belmont, and occasionally filled in for the Guernsey County bookmobile. I worked in this position until 2000. At
that time, the library reduced the staffing on the bookmobiles to 1 person. Moving back into the library, I worked in Shipping and Receiving. This area was growing because of our increased number of consortium libraries and our commitment to resource sharing
and statewide delivery. I was an original “Cargo Queen.” Valeria Whetstone and I traveled the state staging best practices presentations for shipping library materials. Using our best British accents, our creative approach made learning about cargo fun, enjoyable,
and infamous.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

there would be over 1,200 consortium staff needing training on the new product, the library created a position devoted to training. I moved into this role and took off running. I worked with SirsiDynix to train other leaders in the consortium to assist with
migration training. We went live on the SirsiDynix Symphony platform in the Spring of 2012. Since then, I have continued to provide in-person and online training. I create and maintain training videos on YouTube and Niche Academy. I’ve helped maintain our
online documentation and train new libraries joining the consortium. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
