After a twenty year career as a librarian in both academic and public libraries, I returned to my home town of Carrollton GA to become the owner of the oldest bookstore in Georgia. My BA in History is from Valdosta State College (now Valdosta State University) and my MS in Library Science is from Florida State University. After working two years at the University of Georgia, an opportunity came for me to obtain a M.Litt. in Medieval History from the University of Edinburgh UK. My thesis was titled: ''A Dowager and Her Lands:  The Case of Isabel de Forz. ''

During my time as a librarian at the Harford County Library in Maryland, I was a branch manager at two of the branches as well as later becoming the Coordinator of Adult Services for the system. In that position, I supervised the selection and weeding of materials, presented reference seminars, and worked with librarians throughout the state to develop the Maryland Sailor project.

While working as a bookstore owner, I was recruited by the University of West Georgia to teach the Research and the Academic Library (LIBR1101) course online through WebCT. I taught two classes per semester (except summer) from 1999 until 2006 when the enrollment in the class dropped and I was no longer needed as an adjunct instructor. --Doro302 (talk) 13:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
