Library Legacies, a Penn State University Libraries oral history project, was conducted to ensure that the Libraries long-distinguished University history is captured and made accessible. By interviewing 150 present and former University Libraries administrators, faculty, and staff, this project attempted to place the rich work and experiences of these individuals in the context of the immense changes in the Library industry over the past 60 years. Their memories can infuse and negotiate the meanings of the past, amplify how their actions inform the present, and establish a path forward into a strategic future. The earliest interviewee began her Library career in 1958, the most current in 2018. This presentation will discuss trends, skill set development, strategic impacts, human resource issues and effects of technology across the Library as an industry.
