William Schneider is curator of oral history and adjunct in anthropology at the Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks, where he introduced oral history "jukeboxes" or innovative interactive, multimedia computer files that present and cross-reference audio oral history and related photos and maps. Dr. Schneider has authored and edited many books. He was the author of So they Understand: Cultural Issues in Oral History; he edited Kusiq: An Eskimo Life History from the Arctic Coast of Alaska; and he was a co-editor with Phyllis Morrow of the book When Our Words Return: Writing, Hearing, and Remembering Oral Traditions of Alaska and the Yukon.

Schneider's research interests are in anthropology, oral history, ethno-history, and folklore. He is interested in speaking to academic audiences, graduate students, and the general public, and he is prepared to deliver lectures on these or similar topics:

• Oral History: Dead or Alive
• Alaskan History Through Stories Told by the People Who Lived It
• Stories to Live By: A Look at Stories that Teach Lessons for Life

Schneider is not available for speaking engagements during March, July, and August. As a speaker in the 2001 series, he had a positive experience.
