About the blog:
Basically this blog is a place to find awesome new online resources and news about the library world. Lots of this information can be found on other blogs, but I know a lot people don’t have time to monitor tons of blogs, so that is where this blog comes in. It will give snippets of some of the great new technology and tools that can be applied right now to your work in your libraries and trends/issues to be aware of in the library sphere. And, if some of my own research and commentary gets thrown in, well consider yourself warned.
About the name:
It wasn’t a typo. It’s a contraction of Wakimoto and yes, you pronounce it “wacky.”
