Virtual Symposium- The Hyperlinked Library is Punk Rock

For my virtual symposium, I turned some of the key takeaways from the course into a DIY Punk style flyer. I think that the ethos of the Hyperlinked Library is pretty punk at its core, so I thought this was only fitting. I see the idea of the Hyperlinked Library as an alternative to the old, mainstream ways of library service. It’s inventive, ‘cutting edge’, and defies tradition. The Hyperlinked Library shows us that rejecting what’s no longer working is okay; that change is inevitable, and even good. The Hyperlinked Library is community,  it’s active participation in meaningful change, it’s transformative, it’s counterculture– it’s punk!

I hope you enjoy my silly way of showing how much this class meant to me. I look forward to bringing these ideas into my career as a librarian, and am excited to be part of the transformative culture of the Hyperlinked Library.
