Meet the Team!

Abby

Introductions, introductions. Hmm, probably the hardest bit of starting a blog. That and actually keeping the blog going. I guess I'll start with the obvious that those reading this from the beginning will most likely know. I've worked in college libraries since I was 18 and have worked in Inter Library Loan, Circulation, Cataloging, Shelving and Reference. I have a B.S. in Biology, minors in Zoology and Music and an MLIS. I also write and quilt. Those are my creds, aside from that I'm interested in a wide variety of subjects that would be more interesting discovered in future posts than listed here now. So stay tuned!

Brenna

A good friend of mine suggested that I blog under the name “The Raven,” and that I end every blog by “quothing” the esteemed Edgar Allen Poe. My real name, Brenna, is Gaelic and means “raven-maiden” or “raven-haired maiden,” and thusly I have always been interested in blackbirds and blackbird lore. That said, while I would love being The Raven (like having a writing alter ego!), I feel more comfortable just being me, which is a library paraprofessional working at a university. Important things to know, which may will influence my blog entries: I have Celiac’s Disease; I love dogs; I am more of an editor than I am a writer; I frequently do beadwork, sometimes knit, sometimes cook and every once in a while quilt.

A&B

The future subjects of posts are really at our whim. We have planned ahead about a month but we'll see how that goes. There will definitely be a lot of "ad libing" but be assured, we basically know what we are doing. We are library professionals.
