Hi Bobbi!
I’m a librarian in California and I just ran across your blog. Very cool!
University of Missouri where? I went to Columbia.
Question: What kind of education/training did you get to become a “digital” librarian? What are they looking for when responding to a job ad titled this?
Thanks!!

I really like the way comments are displayed on your site – is that a plugin, or just your style sheet? Would you mind sharing so I could try to copy it on my site?

I’m a MLS student and library assistant in a public library in NC. I was curious about the term transliteracy. The definition on you website was clear and concise. I need to learn more about the digital age having been raised during the time of “enlightenment” namely the 60’s and 70’s. We were just getting out of the dark ages then.
