Peter Moon

Peter started working at Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company back in late 1988, and continues to delight in the rigors and challenges of the engineers, as well as the insurance underwriters of the company. He started with a physical facility dubbed the Technical Resource Center, which in more recent years became an office with the title Virtual Information Center in which he draws from a variety of locations for electronic as well as print tools to address the information needs of the staff.

During Peter's tenure at HSB, he became heavily involved with SLA - first as Employment Chair for the Connecticut Valley Chapter and then rose to be Chapter President... not once but twice! In between the two terms, he also was involved with the Engineering Division, serving as their Chair having started as election teller, at the behest of Lynn Berard. Completing his time in the Engineering Division, he assumed the Chapter Cabinet Chair position on the SLA Board of Directors - again following in the footsteps of Lynn Berard. Currently he is involved with the Insurance and Employee Benefits Division as Chair-elect-elect.

In another life Peter was trained at Syracuse University (1977, BS and 1980, MLS) to be a health science librarian. While going through SU, he worked at the Upstate Medical Library, and upon graduating went to Boston to serve as part of the reference department for the Harvard Medical Library. Subsequently he also worked at the New England Journal of Medicine in Waltham, MA to set up a library to support the production staff of NEJM. During this time he was just as active with the associations of the profession - MLA, MaHSLiN, and of course NAHSL. You will have to ask Peter what the last one is all about.
