dougweb1.jpgJohnson’s Observation of Policy Making: Rules only work with the rational. (More rules)

WELCOME to my “personal” homepage. This is a way of separating my efforts as the Director of Media and Technology in the Mankato Schools and my professional efforts as a writer and speaker.


I am great believer in the “stone soup mentality.” Like the soldiers in the old French fable, I know that when each person in a profession, organization, or community brings his or her individual talents and efforts to the table, everyone benefits. This page holds my offerings to the profession of library media and technology. I have certainly borrowed lots of wonderful ideas from many of you. I am obligated. (See “Why I Write For Publication,” KQWeb, May/June 2001.)

If there are things of interest and value to you on this site, please use them as you can. Like most folks, I like to be credited for my work and you need to remember these writings and tools are only for nonprofit use within your organization.

I welcome your feedback on any of the writings you find here or on any of my presentations you may have attended.

Thanks for visiting.
