About Robotic Librarian

Welcome to my Underground Infosphere.

Robotic Librarian is the online face of steven szegedi a.k.a. Vaucanson’s Duck, future librarian. I hope one day to work for a museum, public library or academic library, ideally in the guise of an archivist. So far I’m closer to an eighteenth century automata than a fully realized being, but I probably have a few more lifetimes to go. Espresso and chocolate before all else.

One of my absolute favorite things is to surgically scissor images and colors from magazines. It can be restful, but I have little time this summer to spare for my collages. No time, but no complaints either.

I am deep into the heart of my summer classes, and at the end of August I will be more than halfway though my MLIS program, possibly even an intern with a photo archive or art museum library… In the meantime, I have to figure out how to manage my time before I can update Robotic Librarian’s environment the way I’d like. All in all I need to research and investigate a Confusion of Options.

And now that I’ve finished Deathly Hallows there’ll be more time for everything else, too.

It is right that he too should have his little chronicle, his memories, his reason, and be able to recognize the good in the bad, the bad in the worst, and so grow gently old down all the unchanging days, and die one day like any other day, only shorter.

    Hello. I write a blog for Otis College of Art and Design called The “O” Observed. Your post about book binding came up in my Google alerts and I just posted a mention of it. I also used one of the images from your post in mine and I wanted to verify that this is alright. I quite enjoyed reading your piece.

    Cheers,

    Marc

    STEVE. I just googled you to see if any of your collage work is online. I still have the one you made for me (penguins, food, and a fabulous neon frame). I wanted to see if you have an online gallery or a real gallery or anything. Hope you’re doing well - I’d love to see some of your projects! Please send. Yes. Ok. Hope you’re doing exceedingly well.

    bye now,
    Katie
