Susan
Calcari Project Director and Internet Scout e-mail: scal@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.265.8042 Susan Calcari has been writing and speaking about the Internet since 1989 when she joined the NSFNET project at Merit Network. She created and developed the Scout Report newsletter in May of 1994, and wrote it every week for over two years. Recently she discovered the fine art of hiring smart people to do all the work, so now she scouts the Internet for leads on additional interesting and useful services the Net Scout project could provide to the community. Susan moved to Madison to escape the crowds of Southern California, and soon afterwards the city was named The Best Place to Live in America. A coincidence? |

Jack Solock Internet Librarian e-mail: jacks@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.262.6606 Jack has been an Internet Librarian for Net Scout for a little over a year. He is the Editor of the Scout Report, and is responsible for the Search sections of the Scout Toolkit. In addition, he writes the monthly End User's Corner columns for the InterNIC News. He lives in Madison with his wife and two cats, and is a recently converted Cheesehead Packer Backer (until they lose three in a row, anyway!) |

Gleason Sackman Moderator, Net-happenings e-mail: gleason@rrnet.com Gleason's been part of the Internet's in-crowd for longer than most people have had a modem. He originated the Net-happenings mailing list, four years ago, and became part of the Internet Scout team in 1996. He works in North Dakota, so he has the distinction of being the only Internet Scout actively patrolling the frontier. |

Matt Livesey Production Editor e-mail: mlivesey@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.262.6607 The most feared and hated person on any project is the one with the red pen, and Matt's got it. He's responsible for the grammatical and stylistic integrity of Internet Scout's printed and web materials, and also for making sure that everyone looks nervously over their shoulder when they are about to type a semicolon. |

Amy Tracy Wells Internet Librarian e-mail: awel@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.263.2611 Amy is using her technical background in online systems to make the information collected by Internet Scouts more accessible via a subject tree and a searchable database. She is coordinating our research into distributed search systems for library collections. Amy came to us from Washington D.C. where she was happily pursuing her library career until someone introduced her to a guy from Wisconsin. Before long she was married, moving to Madison, working as a Scout, and buying coats, hats, boots, and mittens. |

Aimee Glassel Internet Cataloger e-mail: aglassel@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.263.6008 Aimee is retrospectively cataloging our Scout Report archive to make it more accessible, the goal of which is to provide subject-based access to two years of Scout Reports. Prior to Internet Scout, she cataloged textiles (mostly handkerchiefs) for two years at the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection. Not your ordinary cataloger, she came complete with her own set of "red books"! |

Teri Boomsma Web and Listserve Specialist e-mail: tboomsma@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.263.2644 Teri is one of the fastest HTML coders in these parts. She marks up and distributes the various versions of the Scout Report and maintains the Internet Scout Web site. |

Pete DeVries Emeritus Internet Tools Specialist e-mail: pdevries@cs.wisc.edu phone: 608.263.2622 Pete was the Internet Tools Specialist. What this means is that he read everything about Internet technology, tried to make sense of it and then wrote overview articles for the Internet Scout Toolkit. After negotiating his contract, we found out that he would have read everything and thought about the Internet for free. Doh!! Pete was also networking guru and the alpha geek for Internet Scout. |
