My name is Chad Mairn and I have been an Information Services Librarian at St. Petersburg College since August 2004. In addition to being known as the "computer guy", I am a liaison between the library and the Gibbs campus Business Technologies, Humanities, Fine and Applied Arts, and Music Departments. I am also an adjunct instructor who teaches CTS 1101, LIS 1002, LIS 1002 Honors, LIS 2004, and OST 1793. For more information please visit my librarian web page.

While an undergraduate studying Humanities at the University of South Florida (USF), I was awarded a Library of Congress Fellowship archiving Leonard Bernstein's personal papers. During my Library and Information Science (LIS) graduate work, also at USF, I became a technology liaison between the Bill Gates Learning Foundation and Florida public libraries. I believe that it is important to understand how technology impacts culture and vice-versa and having a Humanities and a LIS background helps me to "see" things from multiple perspectives. My hobbies are reading, composing/performing music, watching films, gardening, and spending time with my family.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, recommendations, and/or concerns. My contact information can be found here.
