Dan is a systems librarian and SQL hacker living in Alvaton and Louisville, Kentucky. After almost 30 years of library work, he’s cultivated a broad background in public library circulation methodology, library technology and automation, training and instruction, and library databases. A shadow librarian for ten years, he’s provided cataloguing and scanning for various shadow libraries and online digital collections. And he’s called upon his work in shadow libraries to help patrons as a traditional public librarian. Beyond the library, he’s an author, podcaster, musician, and coder.
