Notes from a Simple Librarian

Reading a lot of the LIS literature so you don't have to since 2005. Here I try to reflect about librarianship, my work, literacy, stuff I read, and a few other academic things. For book reviews and other miscellaneous things, visit my other blog, The Itinerant Librarian.

En el canario amarillo,
Que tiene el ojo tan negro!"-- José Martí
