On: Kind of a Big Deal – What it’s like to be a famous librarian (2015)

When I saw the title on HN, I wondered if it would be about Jessamyn West, and it was. It was cool to see her pop up here. I don't recall why I started following her web site, but she has raised my awareness of the importance of librarians and I recommend it.

I had the same reaction! I've known* her since she was an early contributor to and then the first paid employee at Metafilter.com.

Hah! I also guessed it would be about Jessamyn, who I started following because of her (now mostly past-tense) work with Metafilter.
