A blog of substance...

Thanks to Mike the Mad Biologist for tagging me with this meme. Like Mike, I'm not much of a memer, but this one looks interesting (and simple) enough to give a try.

The idea is to "Sum up your blogging motivation, philosophy and experience in exactly 10 words" and then to tag 10 further blogs.

So, here goes:

Bring the world of scientists to librarians and vice versa.

That was strangely easy to formulate and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Similarly, I think it's an overall mission statement rather than something that needs to be implemented with each post I make. Over the long view, nearly eight years of blogging, I think it's going pretty well.

And in that spirit, I'll tag 10 more blogs, five librarian and 5 scientist. Apologies to those that have already been tagged. Also, please consider responding to the tagging completely optional.

My Stealth Librarianship Manifesto post from last month continues to gather comments and page views, albeit at a slower rate than before. Of course, that's very gratifiying to see.
I don't hear as much curiosity from the research community as I'd like to about what a librarian knows and does, but I do hear some.
