This was a wonderful post @yknode! I love when you said “As libraries we need to remain flexible, focus on what our patrons need now, and not be overly attached to those services and programs.” Sometimes it feels like there is nothing harder than adaptability and shift in routines. As humans I think we find comfort in routine, in knowing what to…Read more

@yknode I appreciate what you are describing with this post, which to me feels like an evolution of trying to fix a problem with technology. But recognizing that the problem might be better solved by other more sustainable avenues as well. This is good stuff to think about.

@yknode This: “Libraries should be malleable and lived in, not pristine and untouchable.” Such a strong and true statement that addresses what libraries should look like in the 21st century.

That’s so true, @yknode—I wasn’t really even thinking about that (community conversations as slow and dynamic rather than urgent and concrete). What a nice way to frame it! I’m going to keep looking into these kinds of conversations in libraries.

@yknode This: “When we see our users and our community as allies and partners we open up new possibilities for both our users and for the library itself. Instead of trying to be every solution, be the vehicle for the solutions the community has to offer.” I think it’s so easy to fall into the we have to be everything to all people. We have to do…Read more

@yknode I’m so glad the WordPress platform interests you. I’ve been using WordPress, and at various points BuddyPress, in my teaching since my Dominican University days around 2008–2009, and it has evolved with me over time at SJSU. For me, the platform has never been just about the technology. It is about creating a learning community that feels…Read more

@yknode this is so interesting. Thanks for sharing your concept of the knode. I also think the principles you list that will inform and guide your practice as a librarian are right on target. Welcome to the hyperlinked library.

@yknode 🙂 Yeah, WordPress is customizable and can be used to make almost any type of webpage experience. The organization here is a great template for many organizations, I think, especially those that run on a shared knowledge base and resources. I would suggest that there are a few ways to go about it – one, just start grabbing templates and…Read more
