Greetings!

I’m Barbara Beebe and currently work as Electronic Services Librarian at Methodist College. In the fall, I’ll be entering the doctoral program at UNC-CH. This is my first time attending CiL and I’m looking forward to it. I’m taking the train and staying at the Latham in Georgetown. I was supposed to stop smoking; made it for a while and took up the habit again; so look for a woman with dreadlocks and a guilty-pleasure look on her face. ‘Tis I!!

BTW, I really need a sushi partner (or someone who enjoys Japanese cuisine). I had this plan to eat at 3 different sushi restaurants while in DC (something I typically do when I travel).
