Greetings, 

	I'm looking for work in a library, data center, or research group.
Preferably where my BA Physics and MLIS (Masters in Library and 
Information Studies), will be useful.  
	I'm a dab hand at database searching, have operated a library, am very
organized, and possess serendipity (I'm *very* good at finding the "right"
information.). Computer oriented, analytical, and adept at dealing with
people.
	Resume below.
