Here’s BLL Season 2, Episode 3, In which we talk about the Equitable access parts of the ALA code of ethics, and I go on a bit of a rant about neutrality in the wake of the library social media kerfuffle about meeting room policies in the wake of Charlottesville. Oh, and I manage to work in two movies that were ROBBED of Best Picture Oscars in their respective years.

(Then again, Return of the King and Spotlight were also amazing. Maybe they could have given out two those years?)

PS--I get a little sweary this week. Just a couple of spots, but I thought I should let you know.

Here’s BLL Season 2, Episode 2, In which I introduce my 3-part (though actually it’ll probably be 4 parts) series on the ALA Code of Ethics. What is the code? What are its implications in our daily lives as leaders? Just how blatant of a smart aleck will I be during my dramatic reading of the code?

Collaborative Leadership Course: betterlibraryleaders.com/LJA

Welcome back to Better Library Leaders! I didn’t intend to take October off from blogging and podcasting, but when I look back at the things I KNEW I had on my to-do list, not to mention a couple surprises that came up, I really should have given myself the grace to take a bit of an official hiatus. But hey, I finished the outline and general topic of my very first online course, which I’m going to be teaching through Library Juice Academy at the invitation of friend of the show and librarian entrepreneur extraordinaire Rory Litwin. I’ll give you the full scoop in this short and sweet episode, and I'll also share my thoughts on how we can do a better job of managing overwhelm.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Better Library Leaders Podcast—in which Ingrid Abrams talks about being the Magpie Librarian, I get my Rant on over a scuffle in Kansas City, and I talk about Leadership Books that don’t suck.

Lots of good news (and one slightly embarrassing bit from local politics), a GREAT interview with prison librarian Jameson Rohrer, and I have a question for all of you in the spotlight segment. Hang around after the end, I've got a great bonus bit from my conversation with Jameson about why you should become a corrections librarian.

After a brief post-launch hiatus from the microphone, I'm back! Several nifty things happened while I was away on my little rest, including my first iTunes review, an interview for the Library Career People blog, and more. Today's Interview is a fascinating look into the world of Library Politics, with Patrick Sweeney of EveryLibrary. Hear him tell some fascinating war stories, and share some useful tips for becoming a more effective political advocate for your library. Finally, webinars are in the spotlight for the final segment of the show--how to be a good presenter AND a good attendee. Enjoy!
