Inaugural Post

Welcome!

So, as a lover of information (learning new information, how it's shared, the drawbacks of information overload, etc) I decided a blog would be the best place to share. Plus, my mom said I'm on Facebook too much. As I enter my last year of grad school towards my MLIS, I thought it couldn't hurt to have an organized blog under my belt (looks better than sending prospective employers to social media pages, at least in the library world).
So this space will sort of replace some of the things I loved to do on Facebook- news links specifically. I'm a news junkie, if that wasn't already obvious. I enjoy finding off the beaten path news that I find relevant and important and sharing it. This space will help me do that as well as share my own thoughts without clogging up a Facebook feed (trust me, you'll thank me when my 2 a day NY Times articles aren't there anymore!). While I'm sure that was annoying to some, every time I mused about quitting that, I had multiple friends tell me they enjoy my postings/thoughts.
So welcome friends! This is a space where I may occasionally share my opinion (ha!)- but don't hesistate to share yours. I am a firm believer in healthy debate, as I believe it encourages learning as well as helps strengthen your own arguments and convictions. We're always evolving our thoughts and ideas, so use this venue to help me do so :)
