This session explores start-up mentalities with three candid perspectives from actual start-ups embedded within the library and publishing community. Moderated by Ann Okerson, panelists Peter Brantley (Hypothes.is, NYPL, UC Davis), Franny Lee (newly ProQuest SIPX), and Mitchell Davis (BiblioLabs) will discuss topics such as where they get ideas from, how they think about problem-solving and risk, their approaches on sharing and collaboration, and the effect of speed and nimbleness. They will share experiences about successes, but also about failures and the benefits of taking full advantage of every learning experience. The objective is to highlight and hopefully help attendees identify for themselves opportunities to bring entrepreneurial energy into everyday thinking and actions for libraries.
