Old Wine in a New Bottle

Welcome to my new virtual home, still a part of the Library Journal empire, but in a new location. I’ve joined The Digital Shift conglomeration of LJ and School Library Journal.

I will still focus my gaze on all things digital library, although increasingly that simply means all things library. I hope you find the change in venue puts you in touch with a stable of fine contributors all writing about related topics. I welcome my new home, and my association with Library Journal that stretches back to 1997.

Looking forward to exploring a new year with you, and all of the digital shifts it will hold.
