My name is Amy Harmon and I've started a professional blog. The topics that may spring up shall include but not be limited to: libraries, intellectual freedom, customer service, marketing, or anything else that I might think is professionally relevant.

I'm a reference and archives librarian at the Hudson Library & Historical Society. I've been here almost 2 years (April 11). I find it interesting that my anniversary date at my job is 4-11, the digits for telephone information.

I'm a member of the American Library Association and value the professional associations within of which I am also a member of: Public Library Association, Reference and User Services Association, New Members Round Table, and Ohio Library Council. I am currently running as a candidate for ALA Councilor-at-Large.

I currently read a number of library blogs, including: Meredith Farkas' blog:Information Wants To Be Free, Steven M. Cohen's, Library Stuff, Jenny Levine's Shifted Librarian and Andrea Mercado's blog, Library Techtonics. Andrea inspired me to start this blog. I've had a personal blog since 2001 but hadn't ventured into the professional blog arena. As a newbie in this realm, I hope that this blog will serve as additional information and commentary as opposed to incoherent ramblings and vociferous expressions.
