West Virginia Library Association 2005 Conference

Our keynote speaker is Kee Malesky, National Public Radio Librarian.

"With her library colleague Alphonse Vinh, author of the npr.org column, Musings, librarian Kee Malesky performs background research, answers fact-checking questions, finds experts and story ideas, and provides guidance to staff on grammar, usage, and pronunciations (but don't blame her when someone says "nook-yoo-ler"). She maintains the library's book and newspaper clipping collections, and has also worked on special projects for NPR - producing the Election Night Briefing Book, documenting the early history of the network, and designing training programs for the staff.
...
In her copious spare time, Kee collects books and New York City memorabilia, enjoys European travel, and works on her family genealogy. She was the subject of a chapter in Secrets of the Super News Searchers (2000, Cyberage Books) and co-authored the entry on "News Libraries" for the electronic edition of the Encyclopedia of Library & Information Science (2003). Kee has been a member of the adjunct faculty of Catholic University's School of Library and Information Science, and is active in the Special Libraries Association and in Beta Phi Mu, the international honor society of library science. She is a frequent guest speaker at library conferences and workshops." -NPR Biography
