The future of library technology is here! SMS services? Facebook apps? iGoogle widgets? Bah! You may as well ask for a steam-powered velocipede! My place of work, the Johnson County Library, is premiering its new technology initiative for patrons: the brain chip!
Welcome to Tomorrow. It’s an exciting place.
If it seems like I haven’t been blogging here as much as I used to, there’s a reason for that. Frankly, I’ve become really frustrated and disillusioned with libraries. The infighting, the pettiness, the fear of change and progress–it’s all just too much for me.
So, I’m leaving libraries and library blogging. Starting soon, I’ll be working at, and blogging about, Long John Silver’s. It may sound strange, but I really think this is a good path for me, and I’m excited to be returning to the world of fast food, which I haven’t been a part of since I was an undergrad.
I’ll miss all the friends I made in libraries, but I hope you’ll all stop by and see me at my new job. (I may even be able to throw a free slice of pineapple cream cheese pie your way, if the manager isn’t around.)
UPDATE: Looks like I’m not the only one announcing a new job today. Congratulations, Michael Sauers!
