redefining what it means to read – the seven stages of librarianship
Enjoying listening to Jenny Levine talking about gaming in libraries. I’m still not much of a gamer, but I’ve definitely been seeing the value of gaming programs bringing teens into libraries. She pointed me to a document that I hadn’t read and am really enjoying [kill me, I'm multiasking!] called Fiat Lux, Fiat Latebra: A Celebration of Historical Library Functions [pdf] by D. W. Krummel. Not a new article (Jenny posted about it in 2008) but a great read including, especially “The Seven Ages of Librarianship” which is a great exposition of how the library has evolved and is evolving.
