About
I’m finally getting around to putting something on this About page… believe it or not, at least one person actually asked for info about me!
About davidleeking.com (the website):
I create, write, think, and speak about library websites and emerging digital technology. This website reflects those topics. I tend towards library website stuff – managing, marketing, experimenting, usability, and planning. Sometimes I stray into other related-yet-cool (translation: fun) topics, like videoblogging, experience design and planning, and web 2.0 / library 2.0 topics. Basically, anything in my head on any given day that’s somehow related to libraries, digital technology and websites.
For more info about what you might find here, check out my Categories list (the large list of categories in the sidebar to the right of this page…).
About David Lee King (the person):
This one’s a bit more difficult (’cause I’m not used to writing about myself). I currently work at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library as the Digital Branch & Services Manager. I have worked in libraries since the mid 1990’s. Before becoming a librarian, I held some different jobs, like:
- customer service phone rep at a mutual fund company
- disc jockey
- freelance recording engineer
- musician
- pizza delivery dude
- concession stand worker
- construction worker/painter (boy, that one didn’t last long)
I like to read, write, go on occasional hikes in the woods, listen to music, create my own music (I play a variety of instruments), go to church, am married and have three cool kids.
I’ve been told on different occasions that I:
- am easy-going
- am creative
- play too loud
- have a quirky sense of humor
- am funny
- rock
- am a dork (along with a host of other derogatory words…)
Hmm… here’s one way to get to know me a little better – go explore these links that house a wee bit of me:
- Resume
- Blog (just to be complete)
- blogroll
- etc blog – Right now mainly a videoblog, but it’s meant for anything non-librarian that I want to toss online
- flickr account
- myspace account
- Library Thing
Video
I’ve been experimenting with video for awhile. Here’s where you can watch them:

I like to write and record my own songs. The songs you’ll find below are all me!

Hi David,
I found your blog through a search I did for some facebook information. This is an interesting site. Thanks for the facebook help. I’m going to get more involved in that world in the next week or so.
If you’re interested, you can connect with me on twitter here: @MarshallJonesJr. I’m also on facebook. Hope to hear from you.
Blessings,
Marshall Jones, Jr.
Hey David-
I heard you had a blog and that I should check it out. Wow, it’s put together nicely……great information. Thanks for keeping the layout simple and easy to digest. So you were a disc jockey? Cool. Have you thought about posting a link to your blog from TSCPL Staff webpage? I think it would be appropriate and important since there are really powerful ideas here….just my 2 cents.
