Episode 1 — Cecily Walker
Today, I’m chatting with Cecily Walker, a Librarian II at Vancouver Public Library and an Editorial Board member at In the Library with the Lead Pipe.
In this episode
We talked about thinking like a programmer, Skillcrush, Maptime, learning communities, why maybe user interfaces should make you think, the gaps in our metadata, human stories, and how to break and remake the library world for the better. I couldn’t have asked for a better opening guest.
