[|Linda Mills] - Passionate about libraries, learning, and reading, Linda imparts her enthusiasm as a professor in the SLIS program at IUPUI. As the Media Specialist at Greensburg Elementary, Linda personifies the 21st century teacher/librarian through her digligent promotion of collaboration, evaluation, and assesment among her faculty. With over 34 years of experience, she has run the gamut of grant proposal writing, technology integration, and new standard implementation, along with every other facet of librarianship. She is willing to advise and share, always with a smile.

[|Carl Harvey]Librarian at North Elementary School in the Noblesville School Systems is president (elect as of 4-11) of the AASL. Innovative, forward-thinking, unafraid to take risks, Carl is the kind of librarian to listen to for great ideas.

[|Leslie Preddy] - Uber-organized, type-A media specialist from my side of town who truly imbues her media center with enthusiasm for reading, and collaboration among staff. She shares easily and produces prototype models of reports and newsletters.

[|Annette Lamb] Even though she lives in Utah, I consider her local because of her online classes through IUPUI SLIS. You'll see her name on many educational and technology websites under "people we like," or "people to watch." Annette is like a machine - she pours out latest and organized information without ceasing. She always pushes her students further to keep up with standards and discover what's new. It's great that her courses are just out there in the cloud so that all the valuable knowledge you got from class you can just go access whenever you need it.

[|Daniel Callison] Wrote the book on information inquiry learning and is still involved at Indiana University. The website itself is just about a web version of the textbook, but is more user friendly with organized pages and chapters easily accessible.
