Sophie Brookover

Sophie Brookover is a Youth Services Librarian and a self-taught, savvy IT consumer. Sophie has 10 years of experience with learning by doing, from mastering Reveal Codes in WordPerfect for DOS in the early 1990s, to independently configuring her laptop's Ethernet card in graduate school, to managing documents and software applications on PCs and a Mac at work and at home. The Savvy IT Consumer marks Sophie's debut as an online trainer, although she has several years of experience as an in-person trainer and conference presenter on topics ranging from blogging, RSS, and Web 2.0 to popular culture and The Long Tail's impact on libraries.

Between working at the Camden County Library in Voorhees, NJ, offering training sessions in person and electronically, posting to her team blog, Pop Goes the Library, and having fun mothering a very sassy two-year-old daughter, Sophie doesn't have much free time, but she's working on that.
