David Weinberger

Last week, Nora interviewed David Weinberger about libraries of the future. David is a writer, a senior research at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and he’s the co-director of The Harvard Library Innovation Lab. Nora and David discussed two projects the lab is working on, both related to metadata – information about information – and how it impacts the ways we find and navigate knowledge.

So if you were waiting for a public radio podcast about library metadata (and really, who hasn’t?) today’s your lucky day.You can hear the full, uncut interview below, or download the MP3. [runs 15:51]
