Sabrina I. Pacifici, a member of SLA since 1987, is well known to librarians everywhere for her online journal, the Law Library Resource Exchange (LLRX.com). She was an early adopter of social networking software to share the resources she uses as a librarian with the larger information professional community. In addition to LLRX.com, Pacifici also maintains a blog, "beSpacific," where she gives readers a more personal view of information on the Internet, both what is new and hot, and how Web sites can be used for business and personal education. Each of these services is visited monthly by more than 100,000 readers worldwide and she has won many awards for her efforts. Her efforts have built an amazing resource including searchable archives, an extensive knowledge base, and an ever-growing index of what one person finds interesting and valuable on the Internet.

Pacifici has been active in the Information Technology Division as well as the Legal, News and Government Information Divisions. She is currently an administrative librarian for the Comptroller of the Currency in the U.S. Department of Commerce.
