Laura Bang is the Digital & Special Collections Curatorial Assistant at Villanova University’s Falvey Memorial Library. Laura received her MLS from the University of Maryland in 2009. She began working at Villanova in 2010, where she is responsible for designing exhibits, overseeing the Digital Library‘s scanning operations, and assisting with Special Collections duties. Laura also has a propensity for dreaming up exciting new projects that she doesn’t have time for. You can find Laura on Twitter @laurabang and occasionally on Tumblr when she remembers to post. She sometimes wishes she were a better blogger, but she is too often distracted by shiny things. SHOW NOTES:
R. David Lankes is a professor and Dean’s Scholar for the New Librarianship at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies and director of the Information Institute of Syracuse. Lankes has always been interested in combining theory and practice to create active research projects that make a difference. Past projects include the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology, the Gateway to Education Materials, AskERIC and the Virtual Reference Desk. Lankes’ more recent work involves how participatory concepts can reshape libraries and credibility. You can hear earlier Circulating Ideas interviews with Dr. Lankes here and here. Jill Hurst-Wahl, MLS, is a digitization consultant and owner of Hurst Associates, Ltd. She also an Associate Professor of Practice in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies and the director of the iSchool’s Library and Information Science Program. She is a member of the SLA Board of Directors (2011-2013). Jill’s interests include digitization, digital libraries, copyright, web 2.0 and social media. Cori Dickerson is an absentee MLS student and a part-time librarian in the great state of Texas. Her art and English degrees keep her in the lap of luxury, and the high school students keep her from making any progress on her To Read list. Cori’s trying very hard not to be a responsible adult, and spends far too much time playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. (Star Trek is her one true love, however!) She can generally be spotted on Twitter and Pinterest, scavenging ideas from much cooler people.
