Scott Silverman, Bryn Mawr College
I’ve been at Bryn Mawr since 1984; indeed, Bryn Mawr has been my only full-time professional employer. I am now in at least my fourth position; since 2000 I have served the Tri-College and Bryn Mawr libraries as electronic information resources licensing librarian and general negotiator/money tender. In 2002 I became Coordinator of the Humanities Node, adding Sciences in 2004 and relinquishing Humanities in 2007 but remaining Director of the Nodes. Along the way I hope to have advanced the integration of library, information and instructional technology services for the disciplines in serving as a general advocate for both the staff of Information Services and our broader user community where our interests intersect.
I hold a BA (Drew) and MA (Bryn Mawr) in history along with an MS (Drexel) in Library and Information Science. I review books regularly for Library Journal, specializing in cultural and intellectual history and criticism, and was awarded LJ's 2004 Book Reviewer of the Year award. In 2004-2006 I was a member of the American Library Association’s Notable Books jury.
I am married with two daughters, four cats and a dog. I have a deep love of jazz (spreading into roots music), the written word, the state of Maine and making trouble. Since a family trip to South Africa and Zambia this past summer I now include Africa high in my mix of passions as well.
My official work home is Guild Hall, Bryn Mawr College (ssilverm@brynmawr.edu, 610/526-5281), and I promise I look forward to helping out folks however I can.

Scott,
I'm just letting you know that I did check up on your background. I'll bet that you're a damned good librarian and that Bryn Mawr is lucky to have you.
Best,
Perry
