Abstract
From Picas to Pixels has a peek into the life of librarian.net's founder and publisher, Jessamyn West. We talk about everything from library school to Colin Powell, from shell commands to the Internet community's recent infatuation with tagging (or what we catalogers like to call subject analysis). I tried to lead Jessamyn to admit that we need more catalogers in the mix on projects that are using tagging extensively, like Flickr.com and the Missouri Botanical Garden's new “tagswarming” project, but she did not take the bait.
