Meet the Advisory Council - Newsletter Editor and Employment Chair

Name…Bill Lee

SLA Title: Newsletter Editor and Employment Chair

Education:. .MLS - CSU Fullerton

Job title:…..Librarian

Years in librarianship:…. Almost thirty(!)

Why I became a librarian:…….Really love ready reference and helping people (boy is that corny!) I was always the one that knew the answers on Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit and loved to organize stuff. Seemed like a pretty close fit to me..

If I weren't a librarian, I'd be: a Film critic or run an appliance repair shop

Why I got involved in SLA/or benefit of being active in SLA: ..I wanted to look up from my dingy cubicle and see what other professionals were up to

My role model is (doesn't have to be a librarian!): Bill Gates - His ability to see a need and fill it and make boodles of money

For me, a perfect weekend would include:…Driving the Miata, top down, cruising from winery to winery

Favorite movie:…Citizen Kane .. so many levels of meaning, excellent sarcasm and great cinematography

People would be surprised to know that I...faked it all this time
