Good luck.

I am hoping that they do not ask anything about the background. My problem is if they Google my name quite a lot comes up related to my victims' access to information fight and the genesis of it in the Michelle Mitchell murder in Reno, NV on 2-24. It is more about the influence of the Internet now. The first law librarian convention I attended co-incidentally occurred in Reno, Nevada that summer after I graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1989. I took off taking the MN Bar to catalog computer files from WESTLAW for a national project we were working on with SUNY Buffalo. They were cataloging LEXIS.
I kind of had to go to Reno, Nevada and the convention in 1989. It brought back a lot of memories and I ran into two University of Nevada, Reno Philosophy professors as well. Of course, I mentioned the Michelle Mitchell murder to the law librarians I was with but just in passing. As I was back in Reno where it had occurred 13 years before. I had picked up 4 degrees during that time and represented various prisoners with Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners.
My huge problem was when the U of Minnesota Law Library staff started putting my mental health at issue a few years later because they did not like my criticisms of attitudes towards victims of crimes as well as the holdings for survivors and victims of crimes in that library as well as others in the Twin Cities area. Some of these U of Minnesota Law Librarians or just former Law Librarians were the most powerful ones in the world.
You Google my name and a lot of that battle from 1991 onward comes up.
