The Library as Conversation

“The Library as Conversation” Connecticut Library Association Annual Conference, Groton, CT.

Abstract: Knowledge is generated through conversation. Libraries are in the knowledge business; hence, in the conversation business as well. Books, videos, and web pages are artifacts, the pale afterglow of active knowledge creation. The essential power of the library is found in facilitating knowledge creation in our communities.
