Roxanne Sellberg is currently the Assistant University Librarian for Technical Services at Northwestern University Library in Evanston, Illinois. In addition to technical services (which at NWU include acquisitions, cataloging, preservation, and serials control), she is also responsible for business and finance, budget planning and management, and public relations operations. Having worked as a librarian in four different large academic libraries over the course of two decades, Ms. Sellberg prides herself on having seen "at least two different ways of doing practically everything." Ms. Sellberg earned her undergraduate degree at Wichita State University and her MLS at UCLA. While working as a librarian at Indiana University, Bloomington, she also earned a post-masters specialist degree; study for this degree focused on academic library administration. Ms. Sellberg started her career as a cataloger and remains particularly interested in bibliographic control and access systems. In recent years she has been an active leader in the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, and she recently finished a term as Chair of the PCC Policy and Steering committees.
Eric Lease Morgan is the Head of the Digital Access and Information Architecture Department at the University Libraries of Notre Dame where he and his co-workers help the Libraries "do stuff digital." He considers himself to be a librarian first and a computer user second. His professional goal is to discover new ways to use computers to provide better library service. Some of his more well-known investigations and implementations include MyLibrary (a customizable interface to library websites), the Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts (a collection of public domain texts), and the Mr. Serials Process (a system for collecting electronic journals). An advocate for open source software and open access publishing, Eric has been freely distributing his software and publications for years before the terms "open source" and "open access" were coined. In his copious spare time, Eric can be seen folding defective floppy disks into intricate origami flora and fauna. Eric also hosts his own Internet domain, infomotions.com.
