Library Cataloging
I've created a personal Twitter account. If you have been following LPI_Library to follow me, switch over to DPBigwood. On foursquare (not that I use it much aside from conferences) I'm also dpbigwood. Once I was trying to keep the LPI Library numbers as high as possible on Twitter.
