''"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." - Marcus Aurelius''

Introduction
Greetings and salutations to all who have found their way to this page. My name is Adrienne and I am what I like to call a fairly skeptical cybrarian. What is that, you might ask? Well, I practice skepticism which, as Merriam-Webster's Dictionary will tell you is, "an attitude of doubt or a disposition to incredulity either in general or toward a particular object. " My approach is a bit more liberal, preferring to question much of what generally goes on around me.

But that wasn't the word you really wanted defined, was it?

A cybrarian, according to the same source as above, is, " a person whose job is to find, collect, and manage information that is available on the World Wide Web. " That's a pretty boiled down definition, though. In her book, ''This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All''," Marilyn Johnson calls cybrarians, "the new breed of tech-savvy librarians, part cyborg, part cat's-eye reading glasses. " Minus the gendered reference, THAT'S a definition I can get behind. Hopefully, I will also be able to give something back to the online community that I frequent so often.

When I'm not being a cyborg librarian, I'm an avid writer, gamer, and introvert.

A very avid introvert.
