I'm on Twitter! @silversj

I am a voracious reader who happens to also be an academic librarian that collects rubber ducks. I have my MLIS and my MAEd (focus on Online Learning and Curriculum Development). Talk to me about anything! But particularly about all things digital library, Springshare products, statistics, electronic resources management, and integration of library resources into online classrooms.
