Raison d'être:
I like to rant and I like to write thus the perfect combination for this blog.

If you happen to take any offense to anything I end up writing about, it is most likely because you are the type of patron/library worker who made this blog possible.

If you were looking to find ways to be a "better librarian," boy, did you end up in the wrong place!

These are my thoughts/rants/opinions and they tend to go against the grain of the library mainstream aka I have the tendency to piss off a lot of library people. The dreaded: these thoughts are mine and not of my employer blah blah blah.

Meta the Data!
