Dear safranim,
I’m reading a very compelling book: *Biblio Tech: Why libraries matter more than ever in the age of Google,* by John Palfrey. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=john+palfrey+why+libraries+kirkus&t=ffab I find that he articulates very well the moment we’re in as librarians, archivists, museum curators, etc, re: our world being in-between analog and digital, and how to navigate that in-between-ness; and, how to take leadership roles to “chart the course”, and not let Google, Amazon and other profit-making companies completely define the conversation and create the platforms. If any of you read this book, please let me know if you’d be interested in an online discussion about it. I have found it to be very helpful, in many ways. Thanks, Ann *Ann Abrams*, Librarian Dr. Arnold L.
