Editor's Notes
- Through history, and in the mainstream media, librarians have a dowdy, frumpy, killjoy image.
- Heck, you can even buy “action” figures of them. With shushing action.
- Been to any library schools lately. Do so and you’ll find a very different generation of librarians.
- They party, have fun, communicate, party, know how to have a good time, party, and play video games.
- Go to library exhibitions. What’s the most popular stands? The ones with video games.
- If Led Zeppelin were formed today, most of their members would have been librarians in their previous jobs.
- Christy Branston, GovInfo librarian, tasked with training 32 staff. Game integral. Set dates for doing the lessons; prizes encouraged participation.
- Thanks to Jonas Heide Smith for the screendump.
- The big event for librarians and games. And there’ll be another one next year.
- The recent Internet Librarian 2007 Conference in California. Sessions that explicitly mention gaming, virtual worlds or Second Life are circled.
- There’s quite a few areas of common research that are largely untapped. This raises the related issue of whether similar research methods can be transferred from one field to the other.
