An ability to access, and utilize information is the scope of personal, social, and economic growth. An
exponential information society is free to share information, and its impact will showcase rapidly changing
information communications and the technologies therein. The impact of these upcoming changes among
various organizations, professionals, management teams, and freedom of information requisitions are a
marvelous devotion to a free society of information. My goal is to be an advocate for library funding
projects, academic database research implementation, and promotion of diversity upon public library
shelves.
