Karen Schneider
Throughout her career Schneider has served as a leader and innovator, creative thinker and writer, librarian and technology expert. As a member of the 91´«Ã½ Council, she has served many terms providing insightful and constructive discussion to issues facing the organization. While sometimes seeming outspoken, she has always been an articulate proponent of accountability, change and action.
Her blog, Free Range Librarian, was one of the earliest in the profession and her book, "A Practical Guide to Internet Filters," resulted in her being selected as an expert witness in the Mainstream Loudon First Amendment case. Both serve as examples of her groundbreaking and life-long commitment within the library community.
