I hope this has inspired a few more librarians to wade into my own favorite social website, Reddit. There's a lot to do here, a lot to read, and a lot of information to share. And I think it's important for librarians to be active on sites like this, because I expect that as the Internet develops, this model of information seeking and using is one we'll be seeing a great deal more of in the future. I think librarians need to be playing with sites like Reddit because this is where our patrons are, and this is how they're using information. Reddit is a place where information is not just a means of education and a source of insight, but a form of entertainment! And wherever patrons and information come together, librarians have a role to play. So go jump in!
