| Description: | I manage the Information Center at Stanford University Libraries. I'll be using this space to work out my thoughts on some of the current challenges facing libraries and librarians. I hope to do that in conversation with others who are thinking about the same issues, so please comment on anything you find comment-worthy. Other topics that may find their way onto the blog are: sports, music, and sociology. |
