About this Blog

As a recent, and as of yet, unemployed graduate of the Library Science program at the University of Denver, I needed to find a way to put my $50,000+ newly acquired knowledge to work. What better way, I thought, than to make some of the librarian tricks-of-the-trade available for FREE to the people of planet Earth.

So, for the first time ever, by reading The People's Librarian, you will be made privy to some of the most closely held secrets of that mysterious and magical place we call Libraryland.

This blog will connect you to the information you desire in ways that you did not know existed. In the following posts I will be revealing to you simple and innovate ways to circumvent those pesky barriers that get between you and the information you require!

• Do you like to browse content from several different websites, but find it frustrating to have to visit each website everyday and even worse have to try to find the new content amongst the old? The People's Librarian is going to help you solve this problem once and for all the while revolutionizing the way you consume information.

• Netflix. Comcast. Need I say more? Wish you could cancel, but can't quite bring yourself to do so because, well, how would you watch your shows? No problem. This blog will show you how to get DVDs conveniently from your local library. No browsing required, order what you want, and simply drop in to pick it up...all for FREE! And while we're at it, why not do the same with books as well?

• Most of all, do you loath those pesky pop up advertisements that get between you and your instant information gratification? Soon will be disclosed the dark ways of the hacker who peruses the Web commercial free.

These and many more topics will be touched on in the coming blog posts. I certainly invite readers to submit their own questions, suggestions and comments as we explore the myriad of new information possibilities in the Internet Age.
