Interests

  • Music

    Odds are pretty good that when I am in the office, I have Jango turned on. If you happen to use it too, feel free to drop me a message there and share some of your music. I am mostly an 80s fan, but I also like a few things across the board from latin music to classical to metal and even techno. Now and then I will try something different.

    * * * * I recently discovered Playlist.com, which allows you to create a custom music playlist. So here goes another experiment. I like the idea that I can add songs I like and change them over time. Anyhow, it is not set up to play automatically (as others seems to do, which I personally find annoying), but if you see something you like, feel free to hit the "play" button and get a sense of what I like.

  • Movies

    I am trying out the widget provided by Flixster. Flixster is basically a social site for movie fans where you can rate films, share a profile, so on. I am not a huge movie fan, but I do like watching movies now and then. If you see any movies I have reviewed recently that you like too, feel free to drop me a line and let me know.

  • Books

    The GoodReads widget I am using features the books I am currently reading. Feel free to visit the site and see other books I have recently read. So far, GR has worked pretty good for me in terms of keeping track of what I am reading. As always, see a book here or there you like too, feel free to drop me a line. I love talking about books.

About me:

I finally buckled and got a page here. By this time, the question becomes what can I put here that I have not put elsewhere? Well, let me see. I am an academic librarian. I currently work in outreach, which makes me the library evangelist. A lot of stuff about me is in my blogs. Yes, I am a blogger.

If you want to read my professional blog, which deals with topics in librarianship, literacy, academia, reading, instruction and pedagogy, go visit The Gypsy Librarian(http://gypsylibrarian.blogspot.com)

If you want to read my personal blog, that would be The Itinerant Librarian(http://itinerantlibrarian.blogspot.com). You know those little online quizzes some people tend to like? I tend to put my results when I take one over in that blog too. So come on over and visit.

This page is pretty much another experiment for me as I learn more about online social networks. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop a line sometime. I also have a presence in Facebook, which I use slightly more. Feel free to visit there as well (if you have an account. Unlike MySpace here, you need an account to actually see a profile in Facebook or interact with it).

Best, and keep on blogging.

P.S. I have added a widget that features the feeds to my blogs. I hope visitors here will find it useful.
