Jenny is the Strategy Guide for the Metropolitan Library System of  Burr Ridge, IL.  Beyond her official duties, she also runs the very popular Shifted Librarian blog where people say that “the most important thing Levine does for the profession is explain it to the rest of the world.

The Shifted Librarian is linked in and  read by techies at Lockergnome and Scripting News and other geek watering holes, and happens to be ranked number 369 in Feedster’s top 500 blogs in the whole world, which is a Big Deal!

Her daily musings are read by journalists of all stripes—  technology reporters, of course, but also those who cover pop  culture, politics, law, intellectual property, and civil liberties. The upside of this is that she’s made people outside our profession realize that librarians are…cool.”

If you are interested in  libraries or are involved with them, you should definitely check out Jenny’s  recommendations.

A note about BlogBridge Topic Experts: BlogBridge’s mission is to help you find and use the best information available from the blogs and feeds.  We are constantly trying to get experts in one subject or another to join us as topic experts.

The list of recommendations come directly from the topic expert, and is first announced in our blog. At the same time they are added to our growing directory (on the left) as well as integrated into the BlogBridge application as part of our ’suggestion’ mechanism.

Here’s how to start reading the recommendations:

• You can simply use drag and drop to drag the links in the text above (the ones worded like this: “Click here for rss feed”
• You can click on the link in the sidebar at the left to locate the announcement for each topic expert
• In BlogBridge, when you “add a feed” or “add a guide”, request “suggestions” and all the recommended feeds for each expert will be available, directly.
• And as of today, in BlogBridge, you can add a “Reading List” in any guide and use the “OPML” link in the left sidebar for the URL.

Please send all questions, comments and especially suggestions for other BlogBridge topic experts to us at info\at\blogbridge.com. Thanks.
