- Hiring Librarians Podcast S02 E12: Jay
Oh hey, it’s the twelfth episode of season two!
This episode my guest is Jay, who you may know from the Library Punk podcast. If you haven’t listened to it, it’s a leftist podcast, and I find it fun, interesting, and opinionated. I did an episode back in October. While I was there, Jay mentioned that he had recently transitioned from his role as the director of a small academic library to a role in the cataloging department of a public library system. I thought that would be an interesting journey to talk about, so (six months later) here we are. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
An AI-generated and not completely error free transcript is here.
Speaking of links, in this episode we talk about:
- Library Punk
- Homosaurus
- Democracy is Power: Rebuilding Unions from the Bottom Up
- Berserk
This podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube music and other various podcasting sites (let me know if you can’t find it on your preferred platform).
I’d love to hear your requests or other feedback for moving forward. And please do reach out if you want to be a guest!
