Earlier this month, I posted about another blog by the name of Open Stacks. At the time, the author (Marlee) was seemingly unaware of the duality. I'm pleased to announce that she is amongst us at last!

In response to her discovery, she has generously offered (not only in my comments, but on her own blog as well) to change the name of her blog. One comment from the original post noted that Marlee changed her name to Open Stacks on April 16, 2003 and that therefore, I came first. Actually I changed the name of this blog to Open Stacks on April 26, a full ten days later. So seniority remains Marlee's, but I am admittedly well-entrenched in the association.

In the end, I leave the naming decision to her, but appreciate the gesture as well as the kind words about the "professional" appearance of my little chunk of server space. As Steven pointed out, changing one's blog name will in fact merit a mention on LIS Blogsource. Should that qualify as incentive?

As a footnote to this, Marlee chose her name from McSweeney's Library Science Jargon That Sounds Dirty. If I were to pick a new name from the same list, there would be no contest: Access Point. In fact, it tempts me even now.

Make Marlee feel welcome and go visit her blog.
