2009 Oregon Virtual Reference Summit
Program
Keynote with Eva Miller
Eva Miller has over fifteen years of experience in information technology environments, including software companies, graphic design firms, libraries, Web publishers, and a brief stop at that giant Intel place. She also holds a Master's degree in information science from the University of Michigan School of Information and was one of Library Journal's "Movers and Shakers" for 2004. Eva is a skilled user experience designer and strategist who enjoys creating solutions that meet the needs of the client, the customer, and the brand.
Eva is not so impressed by mountains and oceans because she grew up on the Great Plains (perfectly named). She cannot keep plants alive or put away clean laundry in a timely fashion, and she mimes cigarette smoking to relieve stress.
