This spring 2021 semester a small team of JWU Library student workers embarked on an ambitious inventory project of the circulating collection at the JWU Downcity library.

Session I

The Iceberg and the Cheese

George Hart, Community College of Rhode Island

Zoom

9:20 AM - 9:50 AM

David Lankes has warned us of shortsightedness, risk aversion, and avoidance of new roles, while David Weinberger saw a great opportunity for us to position the library as a platform. This session addresses the threat and seizes the opportunity. Our tried-and-true Libguides platform, pushed to the limit, is a way to expand our role by sharing knowledge of all kinds, with everyone, across all departments in our institutions. Join us to see how it can be done.
