Hey all,

Some of my favorite librarians, the ones with an eye on how information is communicated in our digital age, have told us to get on twitter. We are.  They’ve told us to get on facebook, and you can now logon to 8bitlibrary.com with your facebook name. You can fan us on facebook. They’ve told us that the mobile web is growing, so we’ve set up 8bitlibrary.com to work beautifully on an Android OS or iPhone mobile browser.

What are we missing? We are trying to continue to move forward. What are you doing that we aren’t? Librarians in the 2010-2020 decade need to be asking that question: what are our users doing that we aren’t yet doing?

Libraries, for the sake of our very existence, need to stay relevant. Not only for advocacy efforts, but for our future place in the information landscape of those we serve. Sure, 8bitlibrary.com is about “gaming in schools and libraries”. But we what we really care about is keeping the library and educational (information) communities in the same place as those we serve.

So, what now?

Also, I would love those of you surfing this site via the mobile web to give us a shout-out, via our comment box, from your phone.

Signed,

JP & the whole 8bitlibrary.com team.
