Infrastructure and Culture: A job talk | Feral Librarian

"Below is the text, with some of the slides, from the job talk I gave as part of the interview process for my current job as Director of Libraries at MIT. I have shared it with a few folks who seem to have found it helpful in preparing for similar job talks, so I hope that sharing it here is helpful to others. I also have found it helpful to look back at it myself from time to time – I see it as sort of the “platform I ran on”, and I want to make sure I honor the commitments made herein."

This post is from Chris Bourg, the current Director of the Libraries, MIT. She presented this talk, "Shaping Scholarly Communication: Infrastructure & Culture" during her interview while she was still Associate University Librarian for Public Services at Stanford.
