Episode notes

There are more opportunities than ever before for incredibly niche groups and information mediums. I've noticed in my own experience with the Cornell community and my family is I feel like I've grown more distant from my community because we don't consume the same information. The chance that they are consuming the same information that you are is so infinitesimally low. It's very unlikely you'll be able to bond over that.

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.
