Tim is a former English teacher, graphic designer, flash animator, and Naval Cryptolinguist.  Now, Tim is Instruction Librarian at Montana State University. The most important piece of the job Tim is tasked with at MSU is to think about the challenges students face when conducting library research and to develop and implement the technologies, services, and models of instruction by which that research can be most facilitated. When he's not in the library, Tim enjoys playing jazz trumpet and hiking the Rockies with his wife Leslie and daughter Terra.
