He is widely published, specializing in the history of American science and technology. Formerly an associate professor of history in the Department of Science and Technology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Tom continues as an adjunct professor at RPI and Rensselaer’s School of Architecture.

The Troy Public Library is going to paperless notices! Beginning Friday, May 25th, 2012 we will only send overdue and item hold notices via email or an automated telephone message.
Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of our email notification system. By providing an email address borrowers will receive a reminder before items are due; be notified of items on hold more quickly; and if something is overdue, a message with a link to try and renew the item(s) online.
Please stop in or call us today to be sure we have your current email address or phone number. Please note that invoices for items considered lost will still be mailed. We will also continue to mail postcards for address verification when registering new patrons.
Your participation in the following survey will help to enhance the quality of the analysis, and the future of the Troy Public Library.
Thank you for your support and honest feedback!
