I discovered academic librarianship in the Fall of 1992, when I was hired as a Reference Assistant at Alexander Library (Rutgers University, New Brunswick). I had found what I was looking for. There is a straight line connecting that moment, and the Annual Report that I just submitted this afternoon. It took time, but I got there.
I spent about 10 years doing part time work, and full time non tenure track work. At first the part time work was a choice, because my daughter arrived on the heels of my MLS. When we were ready for me to work full time, I was confronted with the lack of a subject Master's. I spent five years doing full time non tenure track work while I worked on my history MA, one course at a time. Determination, and patience are my gifts. Within weeks of graduating for the second time in May of 2009, I was offered my current position. It is an incredible honor to know who I am, and what I am called to do.

Why three wheels?My name is Robin Brown. This is a picture of my "magic carpet." When I'm at work it's probably parked at the commuter rail station about a mile from my house. I get to ride three wheels because my right leg doesn't like to show up for work. I flunked riding two wheels. Archives
