As you may have guessed, I am the wee librarian. The name pretty much says it all, except the fact that I call Canada my home. Presently, I am far from my ocean in Nova Scotia, but my heart remains there.
By night, I go by the less flashy name of Krista Godfrey. I work at McMaster University, and yes, all views on this blog are my own and not my employer’s. My particular interests in the library world are far and varied, but ultimately, I am interested in reaching our users. It’s all about them. We need to be able to preserve electronic information so that users can access it, we need to employ new technologies that our patrons are already using (the whole library2.0, librarian 2.0 movement). Information literacy is essential for our users to actively participate in today’s society. Government publications are important!
My blog will address all these issues and more, as well as a bit of off the wall stuff. I’m always interested in hearing from others, with the same or differing views, so please contact me with your own thoughts. Want to know more? Check out this page.

Stumbled upon your blog a week ago and decided to come back. Not for the articles you write, but for how you write them, really amazing stuff you’re doing here, i like how you put information into the articles which makes it much more easier to read and much more interesting of course. Keep up the good work!

Hi Krista! I enjoyed your SL session at OLA. I’ve dabbled a bit, and would love to have *more time* to explore. I’m also focussed on being where the users are, but try hard to figure that out, and not succub to “techno lust”, even though that can be fun! I’m looking forward to keeping an eye on your blog.
