amateur systems librarian

hello…

August23

While we are waiting to find out what Canadian server this blog will land on, I thought I’d get the ball rolling.

I hope this blog will be a way for us to:

  • communicate within The British Columbia Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, with the Association as a whole (especially folks outside the Lower Mainland), and with other library folks
  • highlight the events that we participate in
  • archive and remember what we did (to make the official report writing easier)
  • think and write about ideas around intellectual freedom, censorship and library and information policy. I challenge us to explore familiar and unfamiliar territory in depth and to sometimes feel uncomfortable.

I’m not quite sure how to set up multiple authors for this blog, but I’ll figure it out. Please let me know if you would like to be added.

Your Comment:

I’m a librarian who doesn’t read many books. I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and how to make them work better. Thankfully I get to do this for work. I am the Systems and Technical Services Librarian at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, but the thoughts and opinions here are my own.

I’m not an artist, but I like to make things. I’m tinkering with Arduino. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to make some of the things I imagine.

I’m passionate about access to information, open source, intellectual freedom, and coffee.
