2 thoughts on “The TEDx Talk Every Librarian Should Watch”
Thank you for posting. I plan on sharing with library employees in the next Dean’s update. I think we (everyone who works in libraries, consultants and library leaders) struggle to articulate a future given new and emerging business models, yet I am encouraged by the many (95%) who believe in libraries. I appreciate Mr. Rothskill’s honesty and agree there must be some urgency to our work. I hope his talk, your post and the comments that follow inspires us (see above) to examine on our beliefs, our values and our organizations as a means to improve upon the user’s experience. As we lean into any discomfort, let’s remain positive and create environments where it is ok to take risks, fail and improve.
