Local Academic Librarian Andrew Walsh became especially interested in information literacy instruction, emerging technologies, and open education resources. His writing focuses on topics such as architecture, urban renewal, and historic preservation. Andrew aims to connect the past to current redevelopment efforts.

Andrew’s interest in Dayton History began when he moved to Dayton and became curious about the area surrounding his apartment in the Dayton Towers, where he lived at the time. During his research, he was fascinated by the major powerhouse the city once was. Andrew now lives in the Oregon District with his wife and two children and he writes the blog Dayton Vistas.
