Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t I?

Well, looks like I’ve gone and done it. I have finally started my first official blog as a librarian. How I managed to go for nearly 3 years as a professional librarian without a blog is anybody’s guess. I’m surprised that I haven’t been kicked out of LibraryLand for the offense.

So, what exactly am I going to be adding to the librarioblogosphere, you might ask? Most likely, nothing new, exciting and original. (Aside from coining the term “librarioblogosphere”. A quick search of Technorati assures me that I am the first…at least as far as Technoarti knows.) With the number of librarian blogs already out there, I find it highly doubtful that ANYONE coming into it this late in the game could hope to be new, exciting or original. But I will be sharing my unique insight intoLibraryLand with you, dear readers. That alone should keep you coming back week after week. (Either that or fleeing for the virtual hills. We shall see.)

Before I sign off of the first post here, let me give a very brief sketch of me. It will be brief and quite sketch-like because I really wish to remain anonymous on here. You never know what might offend people out in LibraryLand. If I’m going to be having virtual tomatoes thrown at me, I prefer to have it done behind the veil of anonymity. So, back to the brief sketch. I am currently a librarian at a large, urban public library system in the Southeast. I started off my library career at a smallish, academic library in the same area. I’ve been an official librarian for two years, but I’ve worked in libraries since 1999. And, that’s about it. If you want to know anything more, you’ll have to bribe me.
