In July 2005, Bonnie Parks spoke with Terry Reese, digital production unit head at Oregon State University’s Valley Library. In this interview, Reese shares his views on topics ranging from electronic journal management, the role of the catalog, to the impact Google scholar might have on the way libraries provide access to information.
Reese is the author of several freely-downloadable software applications including the EBSCO Records Wizard (ERW) and the often cited MARCEdit. He has written hundreds of utilities and tools, many of which are used in libraries around the globe. Still considered a relative newcomer to the profession, Reese was named one of Library Journal’s 2005 “movers and shakers.”1 In his spare time Reese enjoys spending time with his family, riding his bicycle and writing code.
