Special & Rare On A Stick

This blog grew out of participation in the Minnesota 23 Things On a Stick program and has a eye on how all of this Web 2.0 stuff matters to archives and special collections. If you don't get the "on a stick" part of the title, just visit the Minnesota State Fair: all the good stuff to eat is served on a stick.

About Me

My Photo
Tim Johnson
I've been a librarian since 1982, mostly in academic settings. I started as a reference and instruction librarian at a small college library, became director of that same library, moonlit as a medical librarian, moved on to direct an archives, before arriving at my current position as curator of special collections & rare books. I have an undergrad degree in history, a MA in library science, and a MA in theological studies. When I'm not in a library I like to be outdoors.
