I’ve been parodied. This’ll teach me to just scan the headlines. It seems that fellow CO librarian (one gracious enough to write for my issue of Colorado Libraries which should be out any day now I told,) has written a hillarious blog post titled “A biblioblogger visits the local branch library”. Most of my non-librarian readers won’t understand much of it but here’s the best part IMHO:
BIBLIOBLOGGER: OK, well, let me run my Portable Firefox from my USB drive on one of your public-access computers…
BRANCH LIBRARIAN: We don’t allow patrons to use USB drives. The IT guys won’t let us. MySpace and IM are blocked, too.
BIBLIOBLOGGER: Say no more. I understand. Just give me a Google Map to the IT guy’s home and I’ll get Sauers to rub him out. When are people going to realize that if they don’t ‘get it,’ they are going to ‘GET IT,’ know what I mean? I’m sure you are on Flickr though?”
