Hello from Phoenix, Arizona Peter Milbury is one of the most innovative individuals I have had the pleasure to meet and LM-Net is a wonderful site for all of it's 10,000 members. It gives me the opportunity to learn what your needs, interests and future plans are and to pass them on to my clients in the Phoenix area. I am a Library Consultant and Customer Service Representative from a book service wholesales store here in Phoenix, Gardner's Book Service. Gardner's has been serving school, educators and librarians for 15 years. I joined this wonderful family owned business last year to assist librarians around the state of Arizona. I have a teaching certificate and MLS and have been extremely interested in the vendor/client relationship of publishing, library services and school curriculum. LM-Net encourages us to look to the future, solve problems, brainstorm and express the wonderful service orientated talents we have with all of it's members. I have learned a lot from all of you and I do try to help answer questions and make suggestions as I can. Each time I visit a librarian I suggest they join and encourage them to be participants in this wonderful listserve. I have also found that many of the vendor's and publishers we deal with are so helpful with answering our needs and are concerned with working at making every step of our professional obligations a joy. Companies that can do on-site retroconversions for those without shelf lists, others who develop wonderful electronic on-line services for cataloging and information needs. Publishers who are truly involved with expanding curriculum materials beyond the textbook for the unique educational needs of all our students and the numerous vendors who are constantly moving with us hand-in-hand to help us serve our clients. I also admire individuals like our own LM-Net member Frederick Muller for his wonderful book reviews. Thank you for allowing me to Un-Lurk today... I am off to visit an innovative group of Curriculum directors and high school librarians, who are starting a unique alternative learning program for at risk students in 7-12 grades here in Arizona. We will have lots of ideas to share and thanks to the talents of this group I feel I can share information that involves the scope of what is happening across the nation and with insight to the role of the library, educators and vendors in this endeavor.
