Handshake by Aidan Jones, via Flickr<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

It's a very ancient saying,
\nBut a true and honest thought,
\nThat if you become a teacher,
\nBy your pupils you'll be taught.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Anyone? Anyone? No? Le sigh. Okay, well that was from The King and I<\/em>. Wait\u2026 how about this?<\/p>\n

\u266a \u266b<\/em>Getting to know you<\/a>,
\nGetting to know all about you.
\nGetting to like you,
\nGetting to hope you like me.\u266b \u266a<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Any better? You're supposed to be singing this in your head... Maybe? I thought so.<\/p>\n

So, yes, I am a giant geek. But I am also a new librarian here at the Bronfman Library. And yes, I would like to get to know you.<\/p>\n

But why would you like to get to know me??? An excellent question; thank you for asking.<\/p>\n

I come to you from positions with the federal and provincial governments, where I had been working as a Research Specialist. I like to think myself pretty good with company, industry and economic information and generally, a creative researcher. Before all that, I worked as the Business Librarian at UOIT and worked primarily with students in Accounting and Finance (but we have a Finance Librarian here, Xuemei \u2013 she\u2019s pretty awesome and I suggest you try working with her!). Now that I\u2019m at Bronfman, I will be working in the areas of Accounting & Audit, Taxation, Corporate Governance and a few others. I'm also responsible for Bronfman's social media presence, like this here blog, our tweetertweeter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hmmm\u2026. Let me think. What else can I tell you\u2026 My educational background is not<\/em> in business, but Women\u2019s Studies and Social & Political Thought here at York. I did my Master\u2019s in Information Studies (what we need to become full-fledged librarians) at the University of Toronto. What else, what else, what else? I\u2019m learning to knit, enjoy cooking, recently got married, and<\/em> I grew up on a farm. It\u2019s true. We even still have a donkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stop by my office or while I\u2019m at the Reference Desk and we can chat some more if
\nyou like. And I'd be really happy to help you out with any of the research that you'll be working on or hear any comments or ideas that you might have for our social media endeavours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
