Speaker Biographies

Nicole Hennig is the Web Manager for the MIT Libraries. Her field of expertise is usable web design and usability testing, and she has spoken on this topic most recently at conferences such as National Online and Internet Librarian. She also teaches a continuing education course on this topic at Simmons College Graduate School of Library & Information Science. Before coming to MIT in January of 1999, she was the Systems Librarian for Bose Corporation in Framingham, MA, where she designed and managed the home page for the corporate Intranet. She has worked in academic, corporate, and non-profit libraries for over 10 years and was formerly a classical musician, playing pipe organ and harpsichord in the Boston area.

Terry Plum came to the University of Connecticut in 1990 and is the Network Services Librarian in Information Technology Services at the Homer Babbidge Library. He has presented workshops on authentication, proxy services, and access management for electronic resources at the Internet Librarian conference and other venues. He is currently interested in the assessment of networked resources and associated organizational changes. Outside of the work environment, he enjoys non-competitive sports and grade B movies.

Andrew White is Systems Librarian at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. He has experience supporting technology in both library and academic computing settings. Prior to Bates, Andrew was Project Manager and Information Fellow at Connecticut College. Andrew received his MLS in 1995 and his MA in English and American literatures in 1992, both from Indiana University. When not greasing the wheels of technology, he spends time tramping about the Maine woods with his faithful chocolate labrador.

Amanda Xu received her MS degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 1992. She has since distinguished herself both as an architect, designer, serials cataloger, and as a writer and speaker on the Internet standards, and technologies affecting libraries, and information services. As a CONSER cataloger for the MIT Libraries (1993-1998), Amanda worked with national standards like AACR(s), subject cataloging, LC Classification, CONSER, and USMARC. Particularly, she was able to coordinate cataloging decisions with broader implications of bibliographic database design, indexing, search, retrieval, display, and delivery of information at integrated library system level, as well as Internet-based system level. Since April 1999, Amanda has joined EBSCO Publishing as an Information Architect. She is involved in research, design, and analysis of information and information technologies as they pertain to EBSCO Publishing's online information services. She has particularly been involved in the area of data linking, tagging (e.g. XML DTD, XSL script creations), modeling, mapping and merging, as well as the integration of EBSCO Publishing's online services and subscription services.
