As I mentioned before, I’m hosting a discussion of the ABC TV series “The Librarians” in Second Life tonight and am after some quesitons to raise…please let me know what you think would be useful.
After watching it, I think that this is a bit like people who work in paper firms discussing “The Office“. It wasn’t really like “Frontline” or “Drop the Dead Donkey” which really did say things about how the news was made. It must mean that they got the library background pretty much right or else I’d be preparing for an onslaught of groaning.
Overall I enjoyed it. I thought that Frances had characteristics of a lot of people I’ve worked with. I wonder if there are people like that in other workplaces – that special blend of intelligence and ability with incredibly inflexible and conservative personality. There are bigots in other workplaces..but I think some libraries have particularly smart ones who run themselves in rings to rationalise their behaviour.
I think the returns chute topic is a definite goer. And maybe also things people have found used as bookmarks….can you say “used dental floss”?…..eeeuw….
I had a laugh at the white writing in different font sizes on the front window – MPOW has just been remodelled and have just the same iconography.
Do you think people will want to discuss whether the kids librarian was actually qualified? (sigh).
Anyone know if the animal knickers book was the genuine article?
I definitelly wil be asking “was it funny?”
Any questions / topics to raise gratefully accepted…
