Professional reading group meeting

"In this, as in everything else, I call for harmony and balance. We need to look at our work with clear eyes in order to see the real needs of our patrons and not through the lens of technology invariably dictating a technological solution to all problems and nonproblems alike. How do we attain harmony and balance in our work? I believe we need two things above all-an understanding of the evolutionary history of our profession and of technology and a collective belief in our central and unchanging values."

Enjoy food for thought (and maybe a coffee and cake on the side) at WA Forum's third Professional Reading Group meeting for this year.
