I don't know that any one thing is going to take us down. But they're all just different forms of communication, and we think about how disruptive the telegraph was, and the telephone, and television. So, I think there's an up and a down for every single tool. It's just a tool. And because it feels so immediate and personal when you look at it, it can seem as though the impact throughout the world is tremendous. Sometimes it is used in incorrect ways to stir up trouble, and that’s really concerning.

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.
