About Me

Mike Shell: In a previous life I was either utterly evil or atrociously officious. Now I'm trying to strike a balance.

If we didn't have libraries, many people thirsty for knowledge would dehydrate.

A Note on Attribution

I'm a writer and a librarian.

I license my own online work through Creative Commons.

When I cite books or websites, I link to them. When I use images, I add a pop-up attribution, and the image itself usually links to the source website.

Often the images link to very interesting source sites which I am nudging my readers to look at.

Have fun. Be honest. Give attribution!
