Notes on our Editorial Advisory Board
Listed below is an updated version of Barbara Weaver's biography. An earlier version omitted some vital details. I apologize for the oversight.
Mr Blane Dessy, formerly of the US Department of Education, National Library of Education, has taken a new position with the US Department of Justice. Unfortunately, Blane will not continue in this new capacity as a board member, yet I thank him for his involvement and wish him well in his new role here in Washington, DC.
In his place, we welcome Dr James Healey. Many of you knew Jim throughout his early career in public library administration, during which he pioneered the use of automation in public libraries. From these accomplishments, he joined the faculty of the library school at Rhode Island. After seven years, he became director of the library school at the University of Oklahoma and was responsible for rebuilding the program and building the distance education initiatives at the school. Finally, Jim accomplished similar distance education goals at the library school at San Jose State University. Currently, he is a consultant with the library school at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. Welcome, Jim!
Barbara Weaver is the chief information officer for the State of Rhode Island. In this position, she is executive director of the Office of Library and Information Services, where she is responsible for all functions of the state library agency, for the state government's information technology operations, and for the statewide planning program. Her numerous professional activities include involvement in the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, the National Association of State Information Resource Executives, the American Library Association, and the Rhode Island Historical Society.
I hope you find this issue as thought-provoking as I do. Best regards.James H. WaltherEditor
