I was appointed University Librarian for American University in May 2007. From late 2001to 2007, I served as the associate university librarian for information technology and technical services at George Washington University. i was directly responsible for the development, implementation, and integration of information technology services across the entire library system operation. I have some teaching experience in the classroom, having served as an adjunct faculty member for the School of Library and Information Science at Catholic University, teaching the College and University Libraries course in 2005 and 2006. I started my career at the MIT Libraries, as the interwebs were coming into the public realmMayer went on to work at the Harvard Business School Library as access services manager. I came to DC in 1999 to serve as the systems librarian for public services for the Washington Research Library Consortium, an organization of which GW and American University are members. Having successfully participated in over 450 Grateful Dead shows, as well as worked as a cowboy and oil field roughneck, I'm learned to manage my world view with some balance. Happy to learn something new!
