Today’s episode features a conversation with Jim O’Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University.

Jim O’Donnell was a longstanding academic and professor of classics before becoming University Librarian at Arizona State University in 2015. Jim and Matthew, both Charleston Conference veterans, will discuss libraries and the internet before 1995, that moment for libraries and the internet, as Jim puts it, “when all the lights went on at Broadway at once.”
