I have had the unique opportunity to work with Chris in a client role, as a colleague, and also as an employee. Her work in all roles is marked with professionalism, an active desire to learn new technology, and a listening style that demonstrates her value of others. A highly relatable communicator of technical concepts to a non-technical audience, Chris is simply one of the best in librarianship at making complex concepts understandable. I recommend her unreservedly as a consultant, an advocate, a trainer, and a project implementer to libraries and community organizations.

Judith Hiott, former librarian, Houston Public Library

Christine Peterson is one of the most innovative and creative librarians practicing today. I have known and worked with Chris since the 1990s and throughout that time–and over various projects–I have always found Chris to have a deeply passionate dedication to delivering to librarians the technology tools that will make their work more effective, more efficient, and more powerful. Most recently, I have admired Chris’s dedication in bringing e-book technology to libraries and she was instrumental in creating a highly effective e-book model for libraries in Texas and across the country. I have known very few other people with Chris’s level of intellect, curiosity, and technical expertise. I envy anyone the experience of working with Christine Peterson to leverage technology to deliver the highest quality of library service.
