My name is Glenn and I've been a "student of search" for a long time. I've been one for years but never really knew it or truly understood what it "meant". I guess you could say it all started with a library.
When I was a kid I would get my parents to drop me off at our county library. *This was in the days before parents worried about their child being abducted by some evil psycho. This was the biggest library in the area, it held about 500,000 volumes with reference material of all sorts (encyclopedia volumes, microfiche, almanacs, dictionaries, etc.). This was my world wide web, before their was one as we know it today. Any subject that I felt compelled to look up; I would go to the card catalog, pull out the long drawer, flip through the cards and find a book. Then I would travel to that particular section of the library and find that particular book, but I would inevitably find other books around that book that interested me as well, or books that were on other shelves close to that book, or books that caught my eye on my way to that book or back to my seat after I found that book and others on a particular subject. I became an expert in search, the old fashion way, by the time I was 10 years old. Throughout my life this curiosity and thirst for knowledge has been a guiding force in my life and has carried over into the realm of the internet and the world wide web and all that it offers. I am and will always continue to be a student of search.
