[edit] Who I Am

By day, a mild-mannered technical services librarian at a community college district in Texas. You can find some materials related to those pursuits here.

After hours, I am a virtual reference librarian, providing online library reference services in English and Spanish for a wide variety of libraries as part of a group of contractors called Librarians By Request. I contribute to a blog on virtual reference -- please stop by.

[edit] Why I'm Here

My reasons for finally getting off my virtual butt and getting involved in Wikipedia are best summed up in this blog entry. Long story short: it was a direct result of the formation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Librarians, which really got me thinking about the reasons why librarians should get involved in Wikipedia instead of carping from the sidelines.

[edit] Librarians and Wikipedia

I've been collecting some more extensive reflections on why Librarians should consider being Wikipedians, and I've moved them to User:Lukethelibrarian/Librarians and Wikipedia.
