Hello NYTimes readers. Radical Librarians welcome you!
on Jul 08 in Avenging, Career, Librarians in popular culture by Erica FirmentI got a call about 20 minutes ago from a friend telling me that my website, this website, the website I HAVEN’T UPDATED IN WEEKS was mentioned in the NY Times. So, um. Hi. I’m updating! This is me. Updating. Just for you. La de da.
If you are interested in becoming a librarian, you might want to take this quiz.
If you know some librarians that you want to get gifts, I sell some cool t-shirts and mugs here.
Here are some of my favorite posts.
Here’s a quick summary of this website:
I’m Erica Olsen. I am a librarian (religion) and interface designer (profession). I just moved to San Francisco two weeks ago. I work doing User Experience at Second Life. I’ve been blogging since 1998, but in those days of yore we just called it “having a web page.”
If you wanna write to me and say hi, I’m ericaolsen (AT) gmail (DOT) com.

Congratulations, Erica! It’s great to see people recognize you for what you are – fantastic. There’s nothing you can’t do, and now even more people are realizing it. :)
Congrats – although they could have at least shown you some link love…
Congrats! I had two different folks send me that NYT article. :)
Congrats, E! Hmm, you have a slightly different glow. Could it be – ack! – fame? Too quite and boring here… Hope you’re having a blast. T
Erica!

I read the article, I think we need a west coast chapter of Desk Set!
..I’m 43 is that too old for this site? I have a myspace page…
hi!
I love your blog!
My friend laughs at me because I read it and she thinks I am more of a librarian than she is, and she actually graduated from her MLIS program!
I am going (hopefully) to go to SJSU’s MLIS program!
