Good morning, Eastern Australia! Just posted my #VALA2024 talk "The Interdependent Library System: Revisiting Human Aspects of Library Automation"

on my personal website. Getting my slide deck fixed up to send to the conference tomorrow.

The Interdependent Library System: Revisiting Human Aspects of Library Automation | Ruth Kitchin Tillman

What does it mean to consider the "human aspects of library automation" when we approach a migration or other technological shift in the workplace? In this talk, I reflect on the contexts and experiences of workers over the history of library technology and share preliminary insights from my research.

this talk had quite a few drafts and directions as I worked through it. I hope this choice was a good one and is meaningful to folks.
@platypus Oh Ruth this is incredibly... sweet at its core and shows such a great deal of care for the people whose work you're describing, including your own. I hope it got a good reception.
@jessamyn thank you, Jessamyn. I talked after with a few folks who hadn't expected to be seen or to engage with it and were pleased to find themselves there.
