I've just started my first blog! A new experience for me. I hope to learn a lot from doing it, and perhaps teach a little too as I go along.
I work at the Auraria Library in Denver, CO, which serves the Community College of Denver, the Metropolitan State College of Denver, and the University of Colorado Denver. So far as I know we're the only college/university library in the country (if not the world) that serves more than one institution of higher learning, so AL is a pretty special place! I'm a Collection Development & Research Librarian (which in "libraryspeak" means I spend a lot of my time buying books and subscribing to journals and databases for the Library) for Professional Studies (another "libraryspeak" term, which in this case means various kinds of Business, Law/Criminal Justice and Sports & Leisure).
My intention is to use this blog to keep my faculty and students up-to-date on what I and the Library are doing to better serve them, and to let my colleagues know what I'm up to. Their comments and questions are welcome!
Thomas Beck is the Collection Development & Research Librarian - Professional Studies, for the Auraria Library. This is what he's up to (mostly professionally, but sometimes personally) from day to day.
