Every blog has to have a first post, and this will be mine!
I hope that this blog will become a place where librarians, archivists and other information professionals (and para-professionals!) can share their job experiences, and explain what it is we do all day. I hope we'll also be able to explain why what we do is important, and not in any danger of being subsumed by Google and the web.
I will make a proper post later, but right now I am a digitization librarian, working on digitizing archival materials for use by students and scholars. I do original metadata and cataloging. I have other duties as well: young adult book ordering and reference to name a few. I used to be in charge of our social media outreach, but now I am working on a special digitization project to create a comprehensive online library of Army doctrine. In my spare time, I teach communications courses, sing, write, and make silly little web comics.
Want to tell us what you do, and why it's important? Send email to TammyLGarrison at gmail dot com
