In this episode, Carrie and Tracy chat with Peter Johnson (not Jackson, but he is a Tolkien nerd, so it’s close and more than a coincidence, right?). Peter is a new health sciences librarian, and he is kind enough to share how he ended up in libraryland. We have a great conversation touching on backgrounds, how to treat coworkers in public settings, keeping in touch as leaders, impact of mentoring, how we prepare for searching consultations, Twitter, and yes, some Lord of the Rings references. Also, crabs!
For (* cough *) folks of a certain age, you might recognize the snippet Tracy sings (poorly) at the beginning. The pinball number count animation is an iconic segment from Sesame Street sung by The Pointer Sisters.
Thanks so much to Peter for being a good sport and being our first podcast guest! If you want to reach out to him, Peter is on Twitter, Mastodon, and a moderator on the #medlibs-land Discord.
