Among her many accomplishments as the leader of 166 school library media programs in Baltimore County Public Schools, she has provided the vision to launch school libraries into the Information Age.

By 1991, all school libraries were connected to the Internet, and, she along with a colleague, conducted a 30-hour staff development training program for 175 librarians to teach the technical aspects as well as how to utilize this powerful new technology for teaching and learning. In 1996, she provided leadership in the design and development of the county's first website - onLINE: The Librarians' Information Network for the Essential Curriculum < www.bcps.org/offices/lis >.
