Description edit
sixth incarnation of this page, and I now have a FAQ in case you’d prefer to read that. It’s nice to no longer have to explain what a blog is, since you probably know already, so I’ll use this space to tell you more about me. If you’re interested in how I banged WordPress into shape, please read my about blog page.
I started this site in April 1999 when I found the URL available as I was doing vaguely work-oriented stuff at the reference desk of the community college I worked at in Seattle. I’ve always had things I wanted to tell and show people online and the nascent blog became the way to do that. I’ve worked in many libraries since, and while my interests have evolved, I don’t think they’ve changed terribly much. I love libraries because I believe they are a true manifestation of the public sphere in the US. They are a place where people can read what they want, be who they are, and inform themselves about what interests them.
I like to help people do that. I am also fiercely protective of losing what is special about libraries, and much of my work concerns this preservation issue in its many facets. I am a user-oriented librarian when I’m working at a library, and a library activist when I am not. My passion presently is mucking about in the intersection of libraries, technology and politics and describing what I find there.
