My apologies for the long silence. I have been looking up library news and covering the issues, but have been sharing primarily with my employer and colleagues. Back to sharing with you, my reader!


Article in today's Reuters:

quote in the article: "The new librarian has been on Facebook or Twitter longer than you or I have. They're the most socially connected people I've ever met."


Article in yesterday's Wikimedia Blog:
