Podcast Information and How To AudioBlog by Phone, and RSS Instructions.
Blogs, webcasts, audiocasts, podcasts, and rss maybe a lot of hubub over nothing. In the scheme of things are these important to know about or spend time to understand? Is it in anyway better to read these words on a blog somewhere than on the webpage you are looking at right now?

Librarians: We do have a sense of humor....

I was thinking about a lot of ways Librarians are people who not only like to share information, but also like to share our varying degrees of humor and our take on the world of politics, history, popular culture, and so on.

Listed below are some wonderful links to web-sites and blogs of real life Librarians. Check it out and share your comments with me.

The Urban Academic Librarian

Welcome to my Blog!

This blog was created as another avenue of getting information electronically. It is my hope that you will find the information useful, informative, and possibly thought provoking.

Most of my patrons are undergraduate/graduate students, faculty members, and people who reside in Metropolitan Detroit who find the information I provide useful for their research needs. Please feel free to send me your questions and I will try to find the answer using academic based resources. I will try to post as much information that may be useful at least once or twice a week. Enjoy!
