Who Am I?
Finally decided to break my psuedo-anonymity here and tell you who I am:
Stephanie Willen Brown, Electronic Resource Librarian at the University of Connecticut. I also teach reference & advanced for Simmons College (@ MHC).
I have not been forthcoming with my name & title because I want to keep my blogging life separate from my work life. Please note that the opinions I express are strictly my own, not those of my employer, and the subjects I post about are my own interest, and are not necessarily related to the work I do. Some of them, of course, are, but I do not purport to be a (the) cognitive science librarian at the University of Connecticut.
So, if you've been wondering, now you know.
