KUMCI work at the University of Kansas Medical Center where I'm the Director of Internet Development. We have a few under 20 staff working on all sorts of great projects ranging from the Kansas Library Card that affords 40,000 Kansans access to online databases, to the myKUMC institutional portal, to the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators that over a 1,000 hospitals and 150,000 nurses use to assess their environments.

Day-to-day I manage our projects (around eighty active at any given time) and generally work on strategic and tactical directions for information technology at the medical center. I can still swing vi and grep with the best of the worst Solaris admins. And I've only rm'd the passwd file once in eleven years.

I also am on the national faculty at the School of Library & Information Management at Emporia State University. I teach graduate courses in information architecture and the structure and organization of information technology.

My professional interests lay in digital libraries, identity management and single sign on solutions, portals, and web services. Not too long ago I wrote a chapter in a book titled Designing Portals: Opportunities and Challenges, and am coming out soon with articles on using wikis in student services and student data mashups. Fun, fun.
