It's been fun.

Why bedtimes and deadlines? Because this blog is about being an academic librarian as well as a student, a dad, a husband and a videogame playing gardener. In a good week I manage to be competent in two of these areas. A warm welcome to you.
I write about things that I hope social science students will find interesting and useful; newly published reports, thought provoking TV and radio shows, reliable websites, the perils and triumphs of study and the arid pleasure of producing a good reference list.
