In which I explain my absence

Hey, y'all!  If you are still returning to check for new content after all this time, bless your heart!  I have been a terrible blogger this past year, but in my defense, I've had a lot going on.  First, I graduated with my Master's in Library Science in May. Woohoo!  Then I immediately started on the doctoral program in the same subject, so I've been trudging along through that.  The first semester ended well, and I have been enjoying my break and slacking off on many things I should have been doing.  But that's what the last minute is for, yes?  This past weekend I sprained the hell out of my ankle, so that has also thrown a huge monkey wrench into any major activity.

Anyway...I am going to do my best to blog more often and more regularly, especially with the new project I have loaded upon my plate.  As of this morning, I now have a youtube channel unsurprisingly called The Dinosaur in the Library.  There's only one video up right now, but I hope to get a few more on there in the next week or so and then do one a week once the semester starts up in January.  For most, I will endeavor to have a coordinating blog post for those of you playing along at home.

I hope that you will join me in my new experiment!  Comment there, here, or on my Twitter (@librarydino) with any suggestions for topics, tags, or general ideas.  Have the merriest of holidays (whatever you celebrate), and if I don't see you before then, have a fabulous new year!
