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. |
