[edit] Rob Jenson

Hello -- I am the archivist for the Montgomery County Historical Society (MCHS) and the Montgomery County Archives (MOCOA) -- both in Rockville, Maryland. I have been volunteering or working at MCHS or MOCOA since early in 2003. Before that I made a living as a computer professional for eighteen years, as a programmer, systems administrator and security specialist.

I received an M.L.S. from the University of Maryland College of Information Studies (CLIS) in December 2005, specializing in Archives, Records, and Information Management.

I have a blog that I almost never post to these days: The Lone Arranger.

In my non-existant spare time, I am the secretary of the CLIS Chapter of the UMd Alumni Association ... I'll be wandering around at SAA with CLIS badge stickers and pins -- if you're an alum, catch me in the hall and I'll "mark you" as a Terp. There will be annual CLIS/UMd Mixer at Miller's this year. Here are all the details and directions to the mixer.


[edit] My Agenda at SAA2007

I am serving as a Navigator at this conference, and I have two "navigatees." In order to help them (or anyone else) find me, this is my tentative schedule. Keep in mind that I may bail on some sessions for a nap, or to go sightseeing with my Sweetie instead of attending every session. Everything here is based on the Onsite Program that is posted at the SAA site. Items marked with two asterisks are good times to meet up with me -- especially for my navigatees. (If I decided to skip something on my schedule I'll mark it as a strikethrough after the fact)
