Here I am, somewhat late to the 2.0 party, but fashionably so, I hope! This is my professional space for charting the learning curve on my brand new job – after three years of reader’s advisory service, I’ve taken a position that combines traditional reference work and explorations of 2.0 technology/apps. Exciting stuff, hence my appropriation of the term “alchemist.” Like the often-misunderstood scientists of yore, librarians meld a variety of elements to deliver, hopefully, a gold standard of service. It’s our “great work,” and we are the last great generalists!
Wikipedia’s definition of the term may shed more light on my rationale – read it your ownself, and see how it serves. Starting tomorrow, I’ll jump right into the “things I do all day” portion of the program. And from there? Well, just about anything could happen.

I think it’s typical to leave some sort of ad for Russian car deals in this area.
No, this looks like a fine professional blog, and I hope it’s a grand success.

Thanks, Dan! Decidedly appreciated. Just getting a comment made me realize I’d better go back and check links and typos.
