About me I'm a techie, a geek, and a librarian. I've written a lot about library issues, Web 2.0, and copyright, and continue to speak at conferences and other events where people want to listen to those topics. I also know how to isolation-streak pathogenic microbes, the proper way to tie a rappelling rope to a tree, and can discuss Plato's Allegory of the Cave at length.
About my library I read a lot, but often forget to put the books into LibraryThing, and end up bulk-loading things every 6 months or so.

I've yet to congratulate you on your new job, so "Congratulations!" The new library site looks amazing and is, I think, beyond user friendly. I'll be sorry to see less of you at the reference desk, but I'm very excited about the changes I'm seeing at our library already. I stopped at the desk to speak with the Dean about graduate schools and mentioned the librarything (She told me you'd already mentioned it.) and to ask when I can expect to see a library blog. "Soon," she says! Oh, happy day.
I'm very excited about librarything. It's a good way, I believe, of reintroducing the public to the idea that readers are a community. Even if you don't think of yourself as a "book person," there's someone out there who shares your literary/textual interests, and if you can find those people, your conversations can make the texts and knowledge therein more meaningful. I think that's something that people have lost sight of, and I fully intend to help them get it back! You with me?
Best of luck with your book,
msseay
