Episode 28 (Dec 2023) More AI: “I’m Afraid I CAN do that, Dave”

In this episode we take the Lib_Leader "answer bot" for a test drive, look under the hood, and consider the short- and long-term implications of this and other customizable AI tools.

Episode 27 (Nov 2023) EDUCATION IS THE ANSWER! Now, what was the question?

We are educators, so naturally we all believe deeply in the value of learning at all stages of life. We advocate for “education” as an answer to many if not most issues people face. In this episode we delve into the nature of education as well as the various means to gaining desired knowledge and skills.

Episode 26 (Oct 2023) Pitchforks and Torches and So Much More!

We’re back and where do we begin? Beth, Dave and Mike return to the podcast microphones after a summer break from recording, but certainly not a break from incredible developments in the library, information, and technology worlds.
