How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All

  • IN THE NEWS
0

In an era when the most arcane fact can be fished from the air via wireless, some librarians have headed into virtual worlds like Second Life, where “extreme virtual librarians” help patron-avatars answer various questions. Others have hit the real-life pavement — for example, when “street librarians” from Radical Reference milled among protesters, handing out bathroom maps and legal aid information while fielding questions through a live hookup to their reference desks. Check out this book cheering on these Brave New Librarians, championing the efficiency of online searches and digitized archives: "This Book Is Overdue: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All."

I guess librarians can save

Submitted by bernadetteP on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 05:05.

I guess librarians can save us all by giving their full support and will be able to lighten our head up by continuously educating us.Anyway,It wouldn't be as hard as strapped borrowers. I hope I will be able to watch them.
