#Academic Librarians on Intellectual Freedom and Change

In Jochen Johannsen’s library, students discover freedom through education – quite literally, by participating in Escape Rooms where the goal is to research information correctly. In the concluding instalment of our interview series, we spoke with the Library Director at RWTH Aachen University about unorthodox learning approaches, navigating disruptions in the library world, and more.

This week, Beau Case reflects on his career as a university librarian, culminating in his current role as the Inaugural Dean of Libraries at the University of Central Florida. He talked to us about the challenges he had faced, social bias in libraries, and why he doesn’t mind students putting books back out of order.
