Eric Lease Morgan
Eric is a librarian who first started using the Internet in 1989
through his 2400 baud modem and Unix shell account. Since then he as
always considered 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 and knowledge services. To these
ends, he has created many information services using the popular
(and even less popular) Internet and computing protocols. Applied
research and development has included investigations in traditional
library science, digital libraries, information retrieval, and
human-computer interaction. Some of his more successful
implementations have been a systematic process for collecting
electronic magazines, indexes to subject-related networked
information, catalogs of electronic texts, CGI scripts for sending
email, and customizable interfaces to collections of Internet
resources. He has a BA in Philosophy from Bethany College, Bethany,
WV (1982), and an MIS from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA
(1987). In his spare time, he has been seen folding defective floppy
disks into intricate origami flora and fauna. For more information
