More succinctly, I am Rudy Leon, Learning Commons Librarian at the Undergraduate Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am either rudyleon or rudibrarian on most social networking sites. I reserve Facebook for people I actually know, but will happily friend any contributing librarian on FriendFeed. And I am disorganized enough that I just realized (March 12, 2009) that this profile didn’t include my identity

Hi Rudy-
I’m trying to write a paper on what it means to be a librarian today and was wondering if we could speak. I’m a grad student at the New School (and also a librarian!)
Your blog is awesome- I really enjoyed reading your posts!
Let me know your thoughts.
Best-
Nicole
