What is your interest in virtual worlds?: Academic, One who works directly with students, Library

About Me:: JJ Jacobson, MSI 2005, University of Michigan School of Information. I spent many years as a chef and baker, and my interest in Food Studies pushed me along to Library School. After a short stint working in Cataloging & Metadata at Georgia Tech, I'm now a consultant...or, as I prefer to say, a Librarian at Large, and an Adjunct Lecturer at the UIUC Graduate School of Library and Information Science. I have longstanding interests in literature, the history of everyday life, rhetoric, narrative, and improv theater. My professional interests include metadata, information architecture, interdisciplinary librarianship, and virtual community libraries. My current research is on how roleplay and research fit together in MUVEs and other immersive worlds.
In SL, I'm JJ Drinkwater, Director of the Caledon Library, Factotum General for the Librarium on Abitibi, and advisor to the Steelhead, New Toulouse, and Winterfell libraries.
