Happenings…

So, I’ve been a little neglectful keeping up with the blogging due to a number of other outside activities.  Over the past couple of months, I’ve done a good deal of writing and publishing.  In order, I’ve had the following articles published:

Coming: Article in the OSU Messenger

I’ve also been doing a bit of grant writing, helping the OSU libraries sheppard two grants (one an LSTA grant and one a joint NSF grant with MIT, Georgia Tech and Rice University) through the writing and submission process and a little outside consulting, including putting on a handful of MarcEdit workshops this spring/summer.

And finally, I’d mentioned this on facebook, but this month I was notified this month that I have successfully navigated the promotion and tenure process here at OSU, meaning that in July, I’ve joined the ranks of the tenured academic community.  It represents a lot of work by many — especially my wife who sacrificed much in terms of time and patience.
