Renegade Librarian Jessamyn West On Information, Access And Democracy

Meet Jessamyn West, the radical librarian. She just got a big award from the Vermont Library Association for her role in the selection process for the next Librarian of Congress. She’s behind one of the first librarian blogs, she’s annoyed the FBI, and she’s a crusader for keeping both sides of the digital divide in mind as we move further into the information age. Cory Doctorow of “Boing Boing” has called her an “internet folk hero.”
