Talk about shattering stereotypes

I must thank Allen Hong over at AdPuppet for the incredibly kind words about our meeting in Second Life on Thursday. Apparently, our conversation caused “a total stereotype shattering and paradigm shift about librarians” for him, which is awesome. He’s super keen, and hopefully we’ll meet again this week at Coffee with Crayon (here’s a SLURL, if you’re already a SL resident), which is an excellent meet up of tech-savvy folks in Second Life every Thursday morning from 9-10am ET.

Simple answer to “why should librarians bother with Second Life?”: just getting into Second Life and *talking to people* can change people’s minds about libraries and librarians. It’s like that old-school, Library 1.0 concept of “outreach.”

And, well, it’s fun. And you guys know I like fun.
