​Charting the Course of Curiosity: Welcome to my Personal Repository of Knowledge and Discovery

​Welcome to my personal website – a hub where the worlds of librarianship, philosophy, and physics converge to create a landscape rich with knowledge and resources. I've designed this space to be a comprehensive guide for library professionals at every level. My Library Guides are meticulously crafted to support your journey, from cheat sheets that provide quick insights to in-depth guides tailored for corporate, public, special, and university libraries. It's more than just a repository; it's a toolkit for empowerment, a catalyst for professional growth, and a reflection of my commitment to the field.
​
On this site, you can trace the contours of my academic journey, starting with my Bachelor of Arts, where I probe the mysteries of the universe via philosophy and physics, seeking a richer comprehension of our cosmic journey. Advancing to my Master of Library and Information Studies, both pages are enriched with a curated collection of my noteworthy papers, essays, and projects—illuminating the milestones of both my undergraduate and graduate scholastic endeavours. Complementing my Master of Library and Information Studies is an ePortfolio that encapsulates a broad spectrum of skills and insights. Herein lies a direct showcase of my expertise in critical areas such as service, organization, technology, leadership, and research, collectively reinforcing my proficiency in the library and information sciences field.

Step beyond the library and into the stars in my astronomy section, where you’ll find an array of stellar resources, breathtaking photography, and insights into the celestial wonders that stitch our night sky. In the Archives, you'll encounter echoes of my past life as dj sELF, with Elfin Sound commemorating the vibrant beats of my electronic music ventures.

The rejuvenation of my blog is part of this site’s heartbeat, now pulsing with fresh content that merges the realms of librarianship with the frontiers of AI tools and technology. It's a space created for conversation, reflection, and the sharing of knowledge that shapes our profession. I encourage you to reach out and engage—whether by commenting on blog posts, connecting on LinkedIn or GoodReads, or perusing through the curated links that reflect both my professional expertise and personal passions.

Consider this site an open invitation to collaborate, learn, and grow together. It's crafted not just to showcase a journey but to offer a platform where our collective insights can mingle and flourish. Your contributions to the dialogue here are what transform this from a solitary beacon into a vibrant community. So join the discussion, share your perspective, and let's enrich this digital space with our combined curiosity and passion for learning. Thank you for stopping by; I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the connections we’ll make.
