WiLS Member, Staff, and Vendor Partner Interviews

One of our greatest joys at WiLS is building bridges between all the fine people we work with and for.  We hear our members tell the stories of the big and important work they are doing: interesting new projects or initiatives, or even interesting and new approaches to old projects. And we hear about our vendor partners who are working to create products and services that help libraries solve problems and expand services.   And while our members and vendor partners are doing this work, they are thinking about the Big Picture of libraries – where they are going, how they get there, how they understand their communities, and so on.  WiLS conducts interviews with both library members and vendor partners to facilitate communication and build bridges in service and product development.

Update, December 2019: We have temporarily stopped publication of our Member and Staff Interviews. If you have questions, contact Andrea Coffin at .
