thisweekinlibraries.com Dear Subscribers and Viewers, We have come to
episode 100 of This Week in Libraries, and for this special episode we are back at DOK, the famous Library Concept Center in Delft the Netherlands. In the previous episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with
David Dewane, Founder/Executive Director of Librii. In this episode, after 99 guests it is time to turn the tables and sit in the hot seat ourselves, so we asked the great Stuart Hamilton, director, policy and advocacy at the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), to interview us.
Stuart, together with
Gene Tan, director of the National Library of Singapore, is the only guest who has been on the show twice, and it is an honor to have him back on the show as a presenter. During this episode we talk with Stuart about the story behind TWIL and where the idea of a library video podcast came from. We talk about our travels in search of best practices on the
ShanachieTours and the most interesting libraries around the world. But of course we also talk about the importance of sharing knowledge and the need for "global reach and local touch," as Barbara Ford of the Mortenson Centre once put it. The combination with our work for
Doklab, the idea of an
Extreme Library Makeover, reactions to the show, and how it has changed people's views—or not—and more in this episode of TWIL: your regular dose of library innovation! Enjoy, and see you next episode of This Week in Libraries. This week in libraries is also available in
