She chose SLA as her primary professional organization since she’s a generalist with a wide variety of specialist users, and SLA helps her keep on top on many different fields. The Education Division became her SLA home since education is the main concern. “Faculty in two-year colleges, especially technical educators,” Debbie explains, “often had not expected a career in education. They were working in their respective fields when they answered the call to teach. My research for faculty members is often on educational issues, while I’m helping students in a wide variety of disciplines.” Debbie is also active in the Cincinnati Chapter of SLA, having served twice as its President. In her leisure time, Debbie quilts, and is an avid reader of mystery fiction. This photo is of Debbie’s grandson Patrick at age two on the Internet. Debbie says “"I like sharing research skills with a new generation, but my technical skills are quickly being surpassed. My grandson's mouse skills are every bit as good as mine."

She has worked in a variety of library settings -- special, academic, school, public, for over 30 years. SLA helps Dr. Farmer keep current in the field, specifically in the areas of technology and management; her contacts in the Education Division have been particularly welcoming. The knowledge gained through association engagement also informs her instruction. Professor Farmer's research interests include literacies, educational technology, collaboration, and gender studies. Her personal hobbies (besides reading) include travel, photography and other 2D art, singing, and Girl Scouts. Dr. Farmer also serves as the VP Association Relations for the International Association of School Librarianship, and edits IFLA's School Libraries and Resource Centers Section newsletter. Dr. Farmer is a frequent presenter and author. Of her two dozen books, the most recent titles are Information Literacy Assessment in K-12 Settings (Scarecrow Press, 2007) and the upcoming 2008 book Teen Girls and Technology: What's the Problem, What's the Solution? (Teachers College Press). Dr. Farmer first joined SLA in the mid 1970s when she held a technical librarian position at Singer Business Machines' Research and Development Center. In the '80s she became more active, and headed the Internet Project initiative for the San Francisco Chapter. The group developed a Train the Trainer model for Internet use, and Lesley presented for overflowing groups. Dr. Farmer had already contributed to Education Libraries, so her appointment as Education Libraries Editor was a logical decision. She now leads the division, and encourages the membership to participate actively.

We are able to help each other with specific questions and challenges.” McQuillen has a collection of music from Les Paul on 78's to Les Paul on Podcasts, and a complete set of Donny Osmond albums from the '70s.
