I am a Librarian and specialize in knowledge management, information visualization, data mining, etcetera.

More details at my blog: Information Visualization. This blogsphere is about a world of touch, feel, look and visualization -- where we can synchronously see, hear, share and do much more. Interestingly, in order to visualize one does not need special skills, competencies, etc. It is all about common sense, especially with human visualizations.
