Librarians often have a second degree in a specialization because they do collection development or specialized reference services. Most of the metadata and all of the cataloging material that is used by almost all of the online book resources was cataloged by a librarian somewhere. So you need people who like to engage in that kind of research where you help people narrow down their topic and find the right resources.
Susan Currie has 40 years of experience as a senior librarian and administrator. She worked for close to thirty years in academic libraries and knows a profound amount about information and how it's managed in society. This week we talk about how the internet has changed people's relationships with information, how librarians can help people find information in the digital age, how librarians can help people be less biased researchers and the generational differences between young and old in consuming and managing information.
