Introducing my Home Page and Services

Hi! My name is Scott Kerlin. This is a photograph of me, taken in 1995. I'm an educator and Internet research consultant, a "cybrarian" (cyberspace librarian and online information resources specialist), and a personal counselor in private practice. My home is in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I'm also the co-author of Teach 2000: The Educators' Guide to the Internet and World Wide Web, which is an online training guide for K-12 and postsecondary educators. If you've ever wanted to learn more about the potential uses of the Internet in educational settings, this guide should be of great help to you and your students. As you'll discover if you visit my music room, I love many different kinds of music and performing arts. I also love traveling and hiking in the Pacific Northwest, and I hope some day to hone my mountain climbing skills and climb Mt. Rainier in Washington state. I invite you to take a virtual tour of some of my favorite places, especially Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada.

In my professional consulting work I utilize the Internet as a tool for communications and research as well as for locating information for others. I offer tutorials for learning about and getting the most out of the Internet and the World Wide Web to schools, colleges and universities, and a variety of public and private sector organizations. I also enjoy teaching and guiding individuals from a wide range of backgrounds about how to use the Internet to enhance their daily lives through information, contact with other people, and a huge network of educational resources available at the simple click of a button (or two!). I've built this website to show you the wealth of information I keep at my fingertips for assisting my clients. Staying on top of the rapid growth of the Internet is a full-time job all by itself, but you will find the task much easier with my assistance through this home page and through my direct, personal guidance!
