I am Jeanne Moody, the facilitator of discussions on the design and implementation of the Links Database . I am the principal in Beaver Wood Associates located in Alstead, New Hampshire, USA. We specialize in creating indexes for technical and scholarly publications on environmental topics. I was trained in information science at Drexel University. In addition to indexing and thesaurus construction, I have worked as an information specialist, searching and developing online bibliographic databases. I also spent a number of years establishing and managing special libraries (technical information centers) for government, corporate, and nonprofit organizations.
