Topic: Conversants
While libraries house information in a wide variety of formats, librarians are charged with ensuring that their users are connected with the information that they require. But librarians do more than just connect people to information; they help people build knowledge.
Questions to be discussed during this session include:
- How is knowledge transferred and how is it built upon?
- How do special librarians infuse knowledge into their organizations?
Background resources:
- One Degree to Rule Them All (video)
- The Participatory Librarianship Starter Kit
- Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation (executive summary/PDF)
- Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation (full report/PDF)
