Welcome to the web page of the Modified Librarian.  Here we will discuss the concept and practice of body modification as it relates to librarians as persons and professionals.

On this page we will provide a forum for the discussion of body modification in the context of librarianship.  All library professionals and paraprofessionals alike are invited to contribute pictures of their tattoos, piercings and other modifications along with their stories.

Any articles, views, rants or other writings by or for librarians concerning body modification are also welcome.

The empty space in the above table is no accident.  The Modified Librarian who occupied that space asked that his entry be removed due to coersion and threats from his library's administration.  His space will be left blank as a tribute to his courage and as a protest against the circumstances which led to his removal from this page.  Gail Kwak 2/18/99
