Possible Original Text

First, despite the titles of my entries, my ideas seem to be spilled all over the place. I wonder if this suggests I am not really as organized as I feel.

Putting that thought aside for the moment, I feel confident that my original text will mostly involve descriptions, description about why I want to be a reference librarian, how I found an internship in a library, what associations I have joined, what I learned at the ALA Midwinter conference, why I chose to attend Drexel, and (even more specifically) what I am doing in my courses. Of course, all this narrative will tie into the annotated links -- links to, for example, the the ALA, the iSchool at Drexel, and the Drexel and Penn law libraries (where I work).

And, well, I spend a lot of time crafting witty postings to class discussions in Blackboard -- I could edit some of that content for use in the website. I have gone on at times about librarian issues, especially where they intersect with the law. For example, I seem to get quite excited when talking about topics like Copyright, free speech, and the Patriot Act.

[My original idea for a web page was: Why the United States Constitution is Cool! -- but, alas, I did not want to expose myself for the human and civil rights freak that I am.]

As is made evident by this blog, I have no problems making "original text." And, although I will include personal tales and interesting anecdotes, the idea will be to provide information to those considering a career as a reference librarian.

Thank you.
