You know how these things go. You're sitting around in the library's coffee shop, exchanging information with a colleague, and one of you says "You know, we should do a blog about this." By "this", we mean all those cool tools we've been using the past year or two, like mobile devices and apps and online services and all the related accessories that we keep stumbling upon.
Not only would we be helping our fellow professionals discover some new tech that might make their professional lives a tad easier (I'd say "more productive", but that verges on management-speak, and I don't want to run the risk of losing readers who are weary of hearing things like that), but also we (my colleague and I) would benefit by reading comments that might teach us a few things too.
In other words, welcome to our blog. Pick and choose among what we write, and please comment. We don't want a soapbox. Honest. (But we reserve the right to the occasional vent.)
Oh, I'm an academic librarian at a very large public research university in a major metropolitan area. In previous lifetimes, I was a member of academic computing organizations at another university and at this university, and in between those times and my current job, I taught full-time for more than 12 years in a library school at this university.
I love librarianship. I love technology. I love mixing them up and seeing what happens. That's me.
