About the speaker

Abbie Weinberg (Twitter: @librarianmouse) – Research and Reference Librarian – Folger Shakespeare Library

Abbie Weinberg has been honing her Google-fu as a reference librarian for over a decade (yes, librarians really do use Google. A lot.) She is hell bent on knowing a little bit about a lot of things, and her current job as the Research and Reference Librarian at the Folger Shakespeare Library has her wandering between 16th and 17th century print technologies and 21st century digital technologies. When not assisting her researchers with their projects, Abbie can be found doing her own research on the early history of science, and providing a lap for her two cats.
