PODCAST: The Launch and Development of Choice’s LibTech Insights

An interview with the editor of LibTech Insights

Three people creating a blog about library technology

Is it navel-gazing or exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage to create a podcast episode about the creation of your blog? Who knows, but this week, Choice’s award-winning podcast, The Authority File, features the first part of a conversation between Daniel Pfeiffer, editor of LibTech Insights, and Bill Mickey, editorial director of Choice, about the launch and development of LibTech Insights.

In this first episode, Daniel shares how LTI has grown to encompass webinars, reading lists, tutorials, job profiles, and more since its launch in January 2023. In addition, Bill and Daniel reflect on how the release of ChatGPT impacted LTI’s content as librarians and higher education stakeholders searched for guidance on predictive technology and AI. Underscoring the need for day-to-day use cases and practical tips readers can apply at their own institutions, they discuss relevant library tech topics beyond AI, popular posts with LTI readers, and a possible plateau in AI technology developments.
