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

https://ruthtillman.com/talk/interdependent-library-system/

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.

random fun thing about the interview I'm currently cleaning a transcript for -- it's not one of the ones I cited in the final part of this talk, but it's another that definitely played a role in these thoughts. I hadn't read it in a while, just my notes from it, and coming back and reading what the interviewee said really makes me think "oh wow, yeah, this would've offered like 3 more examples."
