Not only does Derik Badman have a ridiculously cool name, he also publishes a twice weekly webcomic called Things Change, writes about comics (mostly), contributes to a very promising new library blog, I just noticed that he creates warm & fuzzy feelings with University students on Facebook too.
Besides writing a random post about Derik, I really did want to highlight this great interaction. Let’s be clear, the interaction happened because a librarian and student developed a good relationship face to face. The student, though, moved it online, giving the relationship significance and exposure.
Note: I erased the name of the student and also confirmed with Derik that he was okay with me posting his otherwise protected Facebook status update.

I’ve really been enjoying In The Library with a Lead Pipe blog and can confirm that Derik is busy (and awesome)
Wow, thanks, Jessamyn. That means a lot to me. I’ve been reading your blog since before I was a librarian.
