Hijacking this blog

Well, it's been awhile but I think I need to start blogging again. This really is not breaking my New Year's resolution not to keep a journal because this is professional. So, I'm taking over the reference question blog and just sort of using this for my library blog exercise.

I still want to keep track of reference questions, so I am keeping the informationdesk.blogspot.com too. Also for those entries that are too much for this one I have offdutylibrarian.blogspot.com (good luck viewing that one I'm locked it down ;p )

Until then.. Meanwhile at the Reference Desk....
