I chat with Kathryn Greenhill about professional communication and what we as a profession do and what we need to do.  Ruth Baxter attempts to interpret Kathryn's answers and reframe them in a non managerial speak.  This podcast proves it is ok to have fun on the red carpet while still delivering interesting content.

This chat is with Prof Christine Borgman, VALA Keynote and Professor and Presidential Chair in Information Studies at UCLA.  We talk about the Data Dance, the need for librarians and researchers to work together in the collection, preservation and access to data.  How data are not just one commonly understood thing and what that means for a library.

I am excited to be recording Library Chat episodes on the Red Carpet at VALA as part of the conference. This promises to be an interesting series of conversations with some talented and interesting people working in and around libraries both in Australasia and wider afield.

In this episode of Library Chat I speak with Jacob Laerkes, Stewart Parsons, Alana Ward who have recently finished their time as part of the International Network of Emerging Library Innovators (INELI) with me.  As the first intake of the INELI programme we had an interesting, fascinating, challenging and learning experience.  It was also a sad moment for us to come to the end of our two year journey and but an exciting one to reflect on what next.  We used this chat to reflect on innovation in libraries and what the future looks like for libraries and us.

This time we chat with Robert Eruera, Senior Librarian Pou Arahi Taonga at Auckland Libraries and the lead curator of the Manatunga exhibition which runs at Auckland Libraries until Oct 20th. We talk about why the Manatunga exhibition is so significant and some of the challenges in mounting such an exhibition.  Also, about the role of Pou Arahi Taonga and the significance of positions such as Robert's in librarianship.  Lastly we talk about the concept of guardianship and the future of roles like Robert's and ensuring there are many more people ready to step into this type or work.
