There's something about Gena....

There is student in our Library tech program who is quite remarkable and no matter when I am with her, I walk away energized. I met her one day in Ann Dallevalle's class when I went in to observe Ann for her evaluation. Gena was making a presentation about new technologies in libraries and I was so impressed with enthusiasm for blogging. I was hooked. I had this idea that a blog could help our students stay in touch with new developments and career opportunities and Gena was the one to shepherd it. This blog http://pcclibtech.blogspot.com/ is Gena's creation and carries her spirit as she discovers resources to share with other library technicians in our program at PCC. And from her influence, my own blogs were born (both personal -- http://maryannlaun.blogspot.com/ and professional --http://steppingbacklookingforward.blogspot.com...and now for my campus --http://underourskin.blogspot.com)

This is how time with Gena goes...she talks, I listen, I take notes, I talk, we brainstorm...and then another project is born....how fun is that?!
