About

Welcome to my corner of the web!

My name is Coral Sheldon-Hess. This is me (with my husband):

My husband and me, October 2011

I’m the Web Services Librarian at the UAA/APU Consortium Library, in Anchorage, Alaska. I’m still a little new to Alaska—and the west coast, in general—but I enjoy it.

And where can you go from here?

  • My blog, which is mostly about library issues, from a new librarian’s point of view. If you go back far enough, you can learn all about my library school experience, too.
  • My curriculum vitae, or at least a good summary of my professional background.
  • A variety of information about things I do in my spare time, available at the “Other Projects” link on this page.
  • My Twitter feed, Google Plus profile, or Diaspora profile, all of which vary, somewhat, in activity level from week to week.

NB: I admit it’s strange for a Web Librarian—who spends very little time with physical books and welcomes the ereader revolution—to have books bordering the top of her page. But it’s an actual picture of actual books that I own, plus some newbie Photoshop-style manipulation (I’ll tone it down, next time I make a big update), so I’m fond of it.
