I'm not sure why Google is sending Christmas seekers to me, but it may be because every catlover on the web seems to be pointing to my little verse, The Cat's Christmas." You might also enjoy my current Christmas card. Since I left St. Ambrose University I've been publishing an e-zine for librarians, speaking at conferences all over the country, and writing columns and magazine articles. I've also published two books. Best Information on the Net (BIOTN) is now maintained by my former colleagues, but I took BookBytes and Neat New Stuff with me. You'll find them here, along with links to all my other work.

Graphics credits: the ExLibris caricature of me in front of the computer is courtesy of Chris Hiers, the graphic artist who illustrated all my Fox News Online columns. The dragon is by my brother, Gordon Bagby. The bookworm is by Prof. Les Bell of St. Ambrose University. The bookcat I did myself, and is a fairly faithful replica of my late lamented Nickaninny in her favorite pose. The My Word's Worth logo was done in 1995 by an artist at the London Mall Magazine when I was writing the column for them.
