Internet as jungle...librarian as guide

33 Reasons why libraries/librarians are important
librarynation
by librarynation  8-8-2007   
 I actually dislike a surprising number of these 33 reasons. There's a lot of negativity, and a lot of put downs directed at the internet. Regardless of how librarians may feel about the internet, many of our patrons will continue to see it as a useful and reliable source of information. I don't know that any amount of advocacy will ever change that.

Nostalga imprinting - gaming in libraries
librarynation
by librarynation  6-1-2007   
 Libraries who do gaming today are imprinting nostalgia on teens that will keep them returning to the library with their own kids...

Information Literacy - not just standing in front of a class
librarynation
by librarynation  6-1-2007   
 I agree wholeheartedly - I just took a class on IL/LI and I learned a lot about traditional teaching techniques (active learning, various types of learners) but nothing about using W2/technology to engage and teach.

Dewey Decimals and DDR - Gaming in the Libraries
librarynation
by librarynation  6-1-2007   
 Librarians aren't just checking out games (b/c they can't compete with Blockbuster)...they're arranging social meetings...contests. I wonder if we could do something similar with other library services? I know there's often hobby meeting groups (like knitting club)... I wonder if there's some way to do the same kind of contest/ meet-up for adults at the library.

Buying a Dyson doesn't fit with my "image"
librarynation
by librarynation  5-25-2007   
 Can we apply this to libraries as well? People don't frequent them, even though they could be getting all their books/DVDs/CDs for free instead of spending money on them, simply because they don't see themselves as a person who "goes to the library" Very interesting

Online Presence Mashup
librarynation
by librarynation  5-23-2007   
 Kind of a creepy idea... the online content of bloggers/twitterers/flickerers/pandora-users etc could, conceivably, be added to the units of a single mashup page... so there could be all the bits of your life on the web congregated there in one tidy package. Perhaps a bit too intimate.
