I just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself- Dara Flinn, your new Houston LISSA secretary, and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to get the opportunity to serve you all in the Houston area and work with the very gifted Athena Jackson, Julia Mergele, Art Spanjer, and of course Dr. Ana. My background is in business: undergrad in Finance, Master’s in Accounting (Tax.) After a number of years working as a CPA in corporate tax, I decided I wanted to have a little more fun- see people, do creative things, expand my vision- so I started my Master's in Library and Information Science this semester. (The truth is that I would be a full-time student forever if I could afford it!) My focus at this time is academic libraries and maybe archives- I’m enjoying everything I’m learning, so it’s hard to narrow it down.
Spending time with many of you at the West Houston and Downtown mixers, the All School Day, and of course the spring Web Institute has shown me how much I have to learn- there is so much talent and passion and experience in our class. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and inspiration with me. Please email me any time with comments, suggestions, cool web sites, etc.- this community is all about you.
