About Spinstah

Hi, you’ve found the internet home of Alison K. Cody. I’m a librarian living in Baltimore, MD (which is cooler than you think it is) and working in Washington, DC. I’m currently a Training Specialist at the American Psychological Association, focusing on helping librarians, faculty and psychologists get the most out of the research databases we publish.

My professional interests include keeping up with the technology being used in libraries, instruction methods, website usability, and whatever else grabs my attention on any given day. I’m a past president of ACRL MD and was named a Library Journal Mover & Shaker in 2008 (translation: I’m awesome, professionally speaking). For the rest of the professional blah-de-blah, please hop over to LinkedIn.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me collecting stats for Charm City Roller Girls, sewing, knitting (providing my cat isn’t around), taking photos, cooking, baking and drinking interesting beer.
