ATGthePodcast 262 - Erin Gallagher Interviews Katharine Macy
Manage episode 463335713 series 1327300
Audio from the 2024 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. In this episode, Erin Gallagher, Chair of Acquisitions and Collections Services, University of Florida interviews Katharine Macy, Interim Associate Dean of Scholarly Communication and Content Strategies at Indiana University, Indianapolis and Project Director for the O’Neill Project.
In this conversation, Katharine discusses her library origin story and how her grandmother going back to school to become a librarian at a community college influenced her. Although Katharine initially earned her MBA, and worked in the private sector, eventually she realized that her favorite part of her job was teaching people how to find and access and use information. She decided to go to library school, and still uses some of the skills from her MBA in her current role as a business librarian. Working with the O’Neill Project, she helps empower academic librarians in using negotiation skills, which she says is often overlooked in MLIS programs.
