My First Posting

I recently attended the Wisconsin Library Association Annual Conference in Green Bay. I learned many things over the course of the conference, even things about myself. I learned, for instance, that I am a "digital immigrant." My children, however, are all "digital natives." Well, I'm not about to let the year of my birth stop me from taking advantage of Web 2.0, so I vowed there and then that by the end of 2007, there would be a blog from the Manitowoc Public Library. Welcome to Lines from Libraryland.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I entered Libraryland seven years ago, with years of industrial and professional marketing experience. I loved what I did, but I could not have found a better niche for myself at this time of my life, which is why I've enrolled in UWM's School of Information Science. I want to be a Librarian with a capital "L."

I believe in free and open access to information for everyone and, in fact, consider ALA's annual list of challenged books to be a list of recommended reading!

Looking forward to meeting everyone out there. Glad you've visited Libraryland.
