Comments on: it’s not virtual reference or how not to be a robot http://strangelibrarian.org/2009/04/its-not-virtual-reference-or-how-not-to-be-a-robot/ playing in the waves since 1982 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:54:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Craig http://strangelibrarian.org/2009/04/its-not-virtual-reference-or-how-not-to-be-a-robot/comment-page-1/#comment-1963 Craig Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:29:20 +0000 http://strangelibrarian.org/blog/?p=267#comment-1963 So is this is one of the stream-of-consciousness posts that you formulated at 4 in the morning? ;P I agree with everything you say here, and not just because my ego is rapidly inflating with the reference to my presentation in the last paragraph. :) I think librarians SHOULD be real, and not virtual. Actually, how many librarians are real in REAL life? I know of a few of them that seem so professional and taciturn that you could probably confuse them with automatons!! Maybe that's a presentation for the NEXT CiL! "How not to be a robot in Real Life". :D So is this is one of the stream-of-consciousness posts that you formulated at 4 in the morning? ;P
