I was interviewed this week for Bibliotech 17: Be Kind, Please Rewind. We talked libraries and mobile culture, adapting to change and determing priorities when new technologies hit the scene, books and ebooks, social media and authenticity, what to think about when applying to library school programs, ways to develop your creative ideas when your job doesn't allow it, four generations in the workplace, and the business of Design Think Do. And more! Including what I learned from two important mentors at the Yale University Library, and how kindess can change the course of a career.
