About
Welcome to my piece of the ‘verse.
My name is Michelle Boule and I am a Geek Librarian living in Houston, TX.
There are many ways to contact me here.
In 2008, I was named a Library Journal Mover and Shaker. I have created online learning environments, taught in-person classes, presented on a wide variety of subjects, been a Social Sciences Librarian at the University of Houston, shelved books, read books, written articles, organized unconferences, and have participated in subversive activities in an effort to save the world.
I am currently working on a book for Information Today, Inc. on the nature of collaborative education at (un)conferences and in professional education.
I have an English degree from Texas A&M University and received my MLS from Texas Woman’s University. I am married to my very own rocket scientist who puts up with my crazy ways and keeps me around for reasons undiscovered by modern scientists. I have a wee bairn, named Gideon, who is not only completely adorable, but destined to be a geek as well. We have a Nebolish Mastiff named Pullo who defies the laws of Physics. He poops a larger volume than he consumes. It is a miracle of nature. We also have a Great Dane puppy, named Wicket, and a very old Sugar Glider named Puck. I will read almost anything in book form, love to cook, bake, go camping, and believe Joss Whedon is a genius. I dislike steamed zucchini, snow skiing, and running.
I started this little blog in November of 2004 on Blogger as an anonymous librarian posting under the name “Jane.” Although I am putting my real name on this about page, I have become too attached to Jane to give her up so easily. She is a part of who I am and the character behind A Wandering Eyre, so she will remain.
The obvious disclaimer: The views expressed on this site are obviously my own and have nothing to do with my employers, acts of God, or the price of gas.
