Lola Estelle
Lola is a public librarian who has worked extensively with the selection, implementation, training, support, and optimization of electronic resources. Managing e-collections and supporting the expectations of the modern patron are a key need of today's libraries, and Lola assists in discovering the tools and workflows that accommodate the evolution of these collections.
Libraries have significant intangible value that can be difficult to quantify, but increasingly there is pressure to provide formula-based data demonstrating the contributions of the library to the institution or community. As a huge advocate of that intangible value, Lola gets great satisfaction in helping libraries invest in the right tools and get the highest return on that investment.

As a huge advocate of that intangible value, Lola gets great satisfaction in helping libraries invest in the right tools and get the highest return on that investment.
Lola's professional journey has included these pit-stops along the way: student library assistant, bookseller, library paraprofessional, children’s librarian, reference librarian, information literacy instructor, and implementation specialist for library software systems, arriving at her current position as a managing librarian and digital services administrator.
