Welcome Lauren Pressley and Buffy Hamilton

I am pleased to announce two new regular contributors to ALA Learning…Lauren Pressley and Buffy Hamilton.

Lauren Pressley, author of  So You Want To Be a Librarian and Wikis for Libraries, is the Instructional Design Librarian at Wake Forest University and will bring the voice of an academic librarian to the ALA Learning table. Lauren’s passion is helping libraries and university community members learn about the changing information landscape and think about what that means for them as consumers and producers of information.

Buffy Hamilton, also known as The Unquiet Librarian, is the founding librarian of “The Unquiet Library” at Creekview High School in Canton, Georgia. She is passionate about creating library experiences for her students that will encourage them to be lifelong learners and advocates for the power of the library in her community.

We now have a diverse team of 11 fabulous bloggers representing the perspectives of:

• Public libraries
• Academic libraries
• School libraries
• Library cooperatives
• Vendors
• Freelance consultants

Please join me in welcoming Lauren and Buffy, and I hope you are enjoying the getting to know the authors posts as much as I am!
