Dick R. Miller

Dick R. Miller is the head of technical services at the Lane Medical Library at the Stanford University Medical Center. His extensive information systems experience led to his early promotion of using XML in libraries, notably in "XML: Libraries' Strategic Opportunity," published in the summer 2000 issue of Library Journal NetConnect. In addition he led in the development of XOBIS, an experimental schema for bibliographic and authority information and has advocated an XML replacement for MARC. Formerly, Miller was associate librarian at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. He has made a number of presentations on XML for groups such as ALA's MARBI/CC:DA, the Medical Library Association, and most recently the FRBR Working Group of IFLA. He earned his MLS from the University of Oklahoma.
