As I’ve mentioned before and will try not to overuse, I was named one of Library Journal’s Movers and Shakers for 2008. In the printed issue, I was fortunate to share the page with Padma Polepeddi. I say fortunate, because based on her profile, I’d say we’re something of kindred spirits. She reportedly “buttonholes new immigrants to tell them, “All this is free!”” What she does for immigrants in person, I try to do for just about everybody online both for government information and for the journal databases that so many libraries and so few people know about.
In 2008, if you have an internet connection, you have access to a huge universe of quality resources if only you know where to look. In addition, if you live in the United States, then you likely live a relatively short distance from a public library which can get you just about any book, video, or sound recording you can think think. Try it out.
