A Casual Conversation with Meredith Farkas
Meredith Farkas is the Distance Learning Librarian at
Norwich University in Vermont. She also blogs at Information
Wants to Be Free. Her book, Social Software in Libraries,
was published by Information Today earlier in 2007. She also
writes a column for American Libraries, was one of the
organizers of the online course, Five Weeks to a Social
Library, as is known by some as the Library Queen of Wikis.
The Casual Conversations series is designed to be up-close
and personal from a respectable online distance. While there
are many conferences (in-person, online, and in-world) where
librarians can hear leaders in the field make formal
presentations about interesting projects, there are few
opportunities to hear these same leaders discuss informally
what they currently are working on, their future plans and
goals, the challenges and opportunities facing
librarianship, their personal pet peeves, etc.
