Hello, my name is Brian.

home - what if libraries...
Home town: Columbia, Maryland


Theology and Library Science degrees in the 80's did not prepare me for today's library customers! An Open Source zealot with an eye on the bottom line, I am blessed to work in a library where I can pursue my passion for delighting customers by reducing their costs of discovery and delivery of library stuff. I have spent 25 years having fun at work, most recently as Deputy Director of Howard County Library.

I started my library career working as a page for Anne Arundel County Maryland for seventy-four cents a hour. I went on to become a bouncer at Baltimore County Public Library. I have since seen a moderate raise in that base rate.
MORE ABOUT ME...

The last name is pronounced "Oh-zhai. An "awger" is a big screw.

I joined this wiki because: it seemed like the best way to keep the conversation going

The best word to describe me is: odd

Interests: living life fully. And tropical fish. Gardening. Oh and photography. Open source software. Is that enough?

Favorite movies: O Brother Where Art Thou?; Brother Sun, Sister Moon; Shrek; Fargo; Mars Attacks; My Cousin Vinny

Favorite TV shows: I stopped watching TV in the 70s, so it's still Green Acres. Does watching Firefly on DVD count? Ours may be the last family in the First World that doesn't have cable.

My hero: Jesus

My superpower is: spotting BS.

If I could live anywhere, it would be: Paris

My dream job(s): Working with bright, committed people who have a terrific sense of humor. Most days that would do it.

What else you should know about me: I don't eat animals that didn't have backbones. I don't eat reptiles, amphibians or fungi. I posted jokes on the Internet in 1993 and they are still there.
