Library Transformation—How to Think Like a Startup

Speakers: Kristin Antelman, North Carolina State University; Steven Bell, Temple University; Chris Bourg, Stanford University; Martha Whittaker, George Washington University

Transformation.  It challenges us not just to do old things in new ways, but to do new things altogether.  It encourages us to “Think Like a Startup.”  

That’s what we’ll be doing as we explore the concepts of entrepreneurialism shared by Brian Mathews of Virginia Tech in his paper, “Think Like a Startup.”  Our panel of librarians will share stories of the messy, disruptive, and rewarding thrill of doing new things in new ways.  This lively breakfast is designed to motivate you to think about new possibilities for your library, your colleagues, and the patrons you serve.
