Access is my passion. As a librarian, connecting people to pertinent information when they need it is why I’m here. Even more important, though, is teaching people to find the information themselves. It may be cliché but…”Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.”
