WRITING, SPEAKING AND CONSULTING ON SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARY ISSUES

Johnson’s Library Mission: To get back the overdue readers, not the overdue books. (More rules)

WELCOME to my “personal” homepage for my efforts as a writer, speaker and consultant.

I am great believer in the “stone soup mentality.” Like the soldiers in the old French fable, I know that when each person in a profession, organization, or community brings his or her individual talents and efforts to the table, everyone benefits. This page holds my offerings to the profession of library media and technology. I have certainly borrowed lots of wonderful ideas from many of you. I am obligated. (See “Why I Write For Publication,”)

and the Wisdom to evaluate the information I do find.
