| Introduction | I am a thirty-something former academic librarian in the Midwest, doing her best to know and be known. I have degrees in philosophy and religious studies from a tiny liberal arts college and library and information science from a large state school. There is so much more I want to do and to study, and I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up (if I ever do). Edited to add: I think I may have figured it out, at least for now! |
