Director of the Caledon Libraries. General Factotum for the Librarium in Abitibi.
If you see me rushing madly from place to place, I pray you will excuse my haste...the business of giving things away can be dreadfully time consuming. In such moments of leisure as I possess, I am happy to stop and speak of the social life of documents, literacy of whatever kind, miscellaneous info-wrangling, cabbages, kings, and assorted errata and facetiae,
Please see my Picks for a note about me and roleplay
Top Picks
- About roleplay Running my libraries is my primary narrative in Second Life. I therefore regret, ye gentles all, that I must decline to participate in other narratives or plotlines as any but the most minor of characters. "...one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two,"
- The Librarium What can a library become in the Virtual World? Drop by to find out, to speculate, to volunteer. We host exhibits, language groups, etc, and are always open to ideas and suggestions.
- Old Caledon Library The late, lamented, old Caledon Library, in Caledon Tamrannoch
- With apologies to Messrs Gilbert & Sullivan I am the very model of a Second Life Librarian I'll cite you sources modern, obsolete or antiquarian Fetch data neutral, clinical, or noisily sectarian ...and info from the digital back to the pre-lapsarian! And when grid's so lagged that it's like watching still photography I'll still direct you all over the digital geography And offer tomes and volumes from cartoons to haigiography To try to put the biblio back into bibliography
- Duchy of Primverness Province of Primverness, the House of Wu Duchy in Caledon. Chivalric order: The Library Militant. Geology: Granite and basalt, with admixture of cavorite, benthamite, and catamite. Rich veins of monographs and whiskey in the central hills. Principal industries: Mining, daydreaming, primslapping, bitsalvage Principle exports: Culcher, bits (salvaged), pieces (original)
- *Library of Caledon* Please see my Classifieds for the locations and identities of the Libraries of Caledon The collecting policies of the Caledon Library have two main foci: the 19th century and Caledon's defining literary genres, Steampunk and Alternate History. Within these areas, we collect, first of all, primary source material: 19th-century novels, nonfiction works, and periodicals, along with materials from earlier eras considered important in the 19th century; and of course defining works in Steampunk and its parent genres. Second, we collect research materials concerning the world of the 19th century and its imagination, and secondary materials useful for studying Caledon's important genres.
- NMC Campus Education, education, education...
- TX950 -- in a Class by itself Where the librarians party. If you get it....you're as bad as I am http://slurl.com/secondlife/Info%20Island/210/35/138 What, you want a hint? Yeah, okay, fine..... It's About Classification
- Sonnet for Miss Serra When in disgrace with fortune & men's eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state & trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries & look upon myself & curse my fate. Wishing me like to one more rich in hope Featured like him, like him with friends posess'd Desiring this man's art & that man's scope With what I most enjoy contented least & in these thoughts myself almost despising Haply I think on thee, and then my state Like to the lark, at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That I would scorn to change my state with kings
- the Falling Anvil, Licensed Publick House Caledon Tamrannoch (235, 105, 23) A friendly local pub where the beer and the conversation are always good.
