Dear Visitors,

LibrarySupportStaff.com is owned and maintained by Mary Niederlander.
I was a Library Technician, who worked in a Buffalo, NY - Hospital Medical Library.
I had been employed in that job since March 1983. 

Update: as of January 1, 2005, I am Retired!!
Also: Kent Slade interviewed me for the November 2004 issue of Associates
I had not revealed to anyone, and not during the interview, that I was considering retirement in the New Year.
But while the decision to retire was difficult, I do feel it is the right decision for my family and me.
I plan on continuing with this website, but for the immediate future...I just won't be spending as
much time working on it.

Update March 2009
I apologize for the current state of LibrarySupport Staff.com - I have not updated the site since my Retirement. 
It now has become a site that I used to so - disdain -wondering why folks ever kept websites up with seemingly no
interest in keeping them current or removing dead links etc.

Since my retirement - I just found my life going in other directions and while I still care very much about Libraries
and their "support staffers" - I just didn't have the passion or interest in maintaining this website or even the other
domains I own.

Again - I apologize for its current state as of 2009 - at some point I will either pare down the site itself to have only a few pages
or take it down completely. 

This site was supposed to be ABOUT and for YOU!  The Support Staff working in today's Libraries - the technicians, the assistants, the clerks,
the specialists, what ever the name - the folks behind and beside the MLS'ers.

I truly regret that I have not met my goals in keeping this site "what it was" truly about.
