The Information Activist Librarian

I know that some of you have requested a draft syllabus of my brand new course (so new it isn’t even listed on the registration page).  The course is called Design Thinking, Innovation and Creativity in the Information Environment.  The very basic premise of the course is to learn and apply design thinking principles to build towards solutions for “wicked problems”.

Here is a link to my slides from today’s presentation on productivity for the Minnesota Library Association.  The recording will be added when available.

I had the pleasure of spending Friday with the wonderful library staff in Scott County (MN).  What a great group of folks.  Thank you for the invitation to spend time with you all on your staff day.
