About Me

Name: Alice Helen Keyes

Location: Virtual

I have been a book lover for -oh, as long as I can remember! There’s nothing like your first book, is there? Ah, yes! I remember my – oh, dear. I’m so sorry. I’ve gotten off on one of my tangents. Let me see...Oh, yes - my background! I have worked amongst books since I was a teenager. Oh, I have such fond memories of stocking shelves in our town library, helping patrons find exactly the right book they were looking for…Oh, my! I did it again. Excuse me. Let's see...ahh, yes: you should know that I hold a Masters Degree in World Literature and History and a Ph.D. in Library Science. For me, books are my Wonderland! I believe it’s no coincidence that my first name is Alice. And being that my last name is Keyes, well, I believe I can help anyone unlock the door to the world of books. Please: use me as you would a key…a resource…to the boundless wealth of imagination and knowledge that lurks inside every book, everywhere, at any time! Oh, oh, oh! There I go again!

e-Bon Mot

From time to time, I will be sharing little e-Bon Mots I pick up along the way...mostly quotes about technology and anything I believe e-Worthy. For those of you who don't know what bon mots are, exactly, they are clever sayings, phrases or witticisms. "Bon Mot" is borrowed from the French and literally means "good word". So without further ado, here is this week's e-Bon Mot:

The proper artistic response to digital technology is to embrace it as a new window on everything that's eternally human, and to use it with passion, wisdom, fearlessness and joy.

– Ralph Lombreglia

Adieu 'til next time,
Alice
