Actually, all kudos should go to Amy Beth Hale, Researcher Goddess (http://www.amybethhale.com/), for the link. Her web site has a really good blog about researching. We met on the ferry from Alcatraz at last year’s ATA conference, and she ended up extending her stay and attending the conference.
I love that story!! Amybeth’s blog is now on my feed reader; I love her post on “Is Twitter Overrated?”
Thanks — resume hell is wonderful!
