Browsing through the Student Library Journal's archives, I came across an article on Internet filtering in public libraries.
Last year I wrote and published an article on filtering the Web in public libraries in this very journal, so I was interested to read this editorial by Louise Cooke from the UK.
In the first paragraph, I found a reference to my article and another on the same topic that came out in the same issue in which mine was published (Sept 2006). I stopped short, staring at my name in print, slowly realizing that I was witnessing my first citation. Granted, it's not a professional journal, but it is a peer-reviewed library student publication. Meaning, it has some clout.
My first citation. I'm an official professional who has contributed to our discipline's literature.

In my few years of working at TU, I've helped several profs with books, Doctoral thesis, etc. They've all thanked me profusely and have assured me I have a very significant "thank you" in the back or credits or whatever you call it. I've never actually seen it though. It would be kinda weird to see my name in a book.
Lana, way to go--that is immensely significant!
Outstanding! After an h-index of 1 is an h-index of 2!
