John S. Riddle Head Librarian

Book Title: The anarchist in the library : how the clash between freedom and control is hacking the real world and crashing the system

Author: Siva Vaidhyanathan

Selection Statement:

I've intentionally chosen a book that I haven't read yet. Because that's the whole point, isn't it? To keep on reading, keep on learning. The question of the ultimate control and use of digital resources is one of the most pressing of our time, and how we address it will have lasting impact for future readers and learners, not to mention libraries, librarians, and teachers.
