No seriously. Found this blog post from Fil, a member of the “video game community” talking about meeting some librarians at a symposium about the future of libraries.

I imagined droning on about the Dewey Decimal System, and waxing rueful over the “good old days” before the internet ruined research.

I could not have been more wrong.

The people (at my table, at least) were dynamic, technically savvy people who are trying very hard to keep information “alive.” I had some great conversations about user interface, podcasting, RSS feeds, and the digitization of collections.

    Lots of Monkeys on the Future of Libraries

    Can I just say that I like the title of this post? Jessamyn highlighting the section of the post where Fil expresses surprise that the librarians he met aren’t like our profession’s negative stereotype at all caught my eye.
