for him is EK (Edward Kennedy.)\u00a0 As a youngster back in Maine, Charlie was always leaving his wallet behind.\u00a0 His dad had grown up with a kid nicknamed Eddie No Wallet, and, well, you\u2019ll just have to ask Charlie how the whole EK thing got started.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie is the new <strong>Electronic Resources and Serials Librarian<\/strong>.\u00a0 He is responsible for the care and feeding of about 20,000 electronic journal subscriptions and 140+ online databases.\u00a0 He moved here from a similar position at Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison where he had a lot of experience with Goldrush, the electronic resource management system used here at UTC.\u00a0 He and Katie Gohn, the new Digital Integration Librarian, are working side by side (almost literally!) to make the digital experience smooth and trouble-free for our patrons.\u00a0 Behind the scenes, Charlie spends a lot of his time on the phone with vendors \u2013 negotiating prices, demanding fixes, and sleuthing problems.<\/p>\n<p>One of Charlie\u2019s heroes is the late <strong>Steve Jobs<\/strong> of Apple.\u00a0 Reminiscent of a country and western song, Charlie says that he loved Apple before Apple was cool.\u00a0 He has had Apple computers for 15 years, and he bought Apple stock in 1998 when the company was nearly ready to go under.\u00a0 He admires the quality of their products, their customer service, and the brand loyalty they inspire.\u00a0 He says he is looking forward to reading the new biography, <em>Steve Jobs<\/em>, by Walter Isaacson.<\/p>\n<p>As an undergraduate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elon.edu\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elon University<\/a> in North Carolina, Charlie majored in both Spanish and Gender Studies.\u00a0 He spent his junior year in Chile, becoming even more fluent in Spanish.\u00a0 He lived with two different families, took all his classes in Spanish, and really immersed himself in the culture.\u00a0 He said that the experience broadened his horizons and made him grateful for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving here in October, Charlie has been actively immersing himself in Chattanooga culture.\u00a0 He volunteers at a food pantry, has been attending a local church, and is making friends on campus.\u00a0 Outside of work, <strong>Charlie loves to bake<\/strong> (he makes a mean bran muffin!) and is learning to cook meals too.\u00a0 Most nights he hits Crossroads for dinner before heading home, but he is looking forward to doing more cooking for himself as he gets more experience.\u00a0 Politically liberal, his favorite podcast is <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Democracy Now!<\/a><\/em> with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, an independent national public television and radio daily news program.\u00a0 Charlie likes to listen when he\u2019s cooking, walking or driving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome to UTC and Lupton Library, Charlie!<\/strong>\u00a0 (Or should we call you
