I have been continuing a course of DIY continuing education via occasional webinars and the reading of books. Many books which I have consulted are noted on my Goodreads page. I am intensely interested and engaged with concepts of New Librarianship, as expounded by such library movers and shakers as Stephen Abram, David Lankes, Michael Stephens, and Meredith Farkas. See also the inspirational online conference Library2.016.
