We envisioned this year’s July issue to be an inaugural attempt at creating a contributor-driven “unconference issue.” And while this month’s issue is a compact one, I think its contents speak to the spirit of an unconference—user-driven conversations and knowledge-sharing that span a wide range of topics, media and scope, engaged with at our own pace.
What’s new in Open Shelf: March 2020
We’re trying something new this month: An online panel discussion on the need for the MLIS.
In addition to this foray into a new way to talk with each other, we also have a number of features that look at Finnish library programs, Indigenous-federal relations, being a new manager, and creative card-making for students, which is an InsideOCULA article.
Plus, Readers’ advisory is back along with the latest installment of Wildcard*, a new grad’s journey in the job market.
Why did the Romanian stop reading? To give their Bucharest!
