Two bloggers from whose writing I get a great deal of food for thought were just named “movers and shakers” by Library Journal. Congratulations Aaron Schmidt and Michael Stephens! You two really should be proud — not of some mention in Library Journal, but for all you’ve done for your libraries and for librarianship. Rock on! If you don’t already subscribe to their blogs, which I’m sure most of you do, check out Tame the Web and Walking Paper immediately, silly! You should also go see who the rest of the innovative librarians (and library-related folks) are and what libraries are cool enough to let them do what they’re doing. It inspires me to read about librarians with so much passion who don’t let anything stand in the way of making a difference in their libraries and user communities. Nice to know I’m not the only idealistic librarian who think libraries can be so much more and can offer so much more than they do right now.
Movers and Shakers!
