The Shifted Librarian shifting libraries at the speed of byte

Gaming Remains the Most Popular Online Entertainment Activity

“Playing games is still a more popular online activity in the U.S. than watching short video clips or visiting social networking websites, according to Casual Gaming Market Update, a new report from Parks Associates. Thirty-four percent of U.S. adult Internet users play online games on a weekly basis, compared with 29% who watch short online videos and 19% who visit social networking sites with the same frequency.” [Parks Associates, <em>via a note from Val on Facebook</em>]

We need to fund libraries properly so that they can provide computers and bandwidth to support all of these activities.

Browser tabs are the digital equivalent of paper piles on desks.

Update: Oops – the comments feed did change. It’s now at http://theshiftedlibrarian.com/comments.xml, but the RSS feed is still at http://theshiftedlibrarian.com/rss.xml . All looks well so far, thanks to Jessamyn West and Blake Carver!.
