Amanda Goodman started using WordPress to manage her online presence in 2008. As a MLIS student, she redesigned the Library and Information Studies’ website at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The revamped website in WordPress became a model for other UNCG departments’ websites. In her free time, she volunteered in local archives digitizing special collections.

Amanda now works at Darien Library as the User Experience Librarian. She works closely with other library staff to exceed patron expectations of what a public library can do for them. A few of her current projects include redesigning the Library’s website, creating marketing materials, and co-managing adult technology education classes.

Amanda blogs daily about her work and can be found on Twitter under her @godaisies handle.
