The Trickster in the Digital Sublime

I really like the idea of a myth incorporating a trickster. It could also be a useful tool for analysis in the future. Identifying tricksters or mischief makers seems like it could be a useful tell for finding myths in society. For instance, some NexGen Librarians have come under fire for being upstarts within the profession. Using Mosco's myth analysis, what does this tell us about how the librarian profession views itself? What what ways are the NexGen librarians tricksters?
