RITA VINE

I've listened to over 1000 librarians from academic and research libraries share their challenges and struggles from being "of service" to a practice of active engagement... I can help your organization focus on the future while honoring professional values... At the dawn of the publicly available Internet in the early 1990s, I led the first Internet search classes at the University of Toronto. Early adoption of Internet technology led to a wonderful shift into consulting. For the next decade I taught thousands of business researchers and librarians across North America to use this strange new tool called the World Wide Web to find information on the Internet. My work was profiled in Greg Notess' book Teaching Web Search Skills: Techniques and Strategies of Top Trainers.
