Welcome to my small corner of the Internet. I am Lisa Federer, librarian and research informationist. I live in Los Angeles with my dog, Ophelia. In my free time, I like to bake and cook, knit, play the piano, read, watch indie films and bad horror movies, and drink the best wine I can afford on a librarian’s budget. When I get the time, I like to travel, especially to France, particularly Paris. I ride a vintage-style scooter that I named Gigi.
This site collects a variety of resources related to my professional life. If you’re interested in hearing more about me personally, check out Librarian in the City, where I blog about being a librarian and other things that pop into my head. If you have questions about anything you see here, feel free to send me an email.
