Interview with Rick Anderson
Libraries, OA analysis, music, and work-life balance, it's all on the table
We officially kick off Season 2 of our podcast with Rick Anderson, the University Librarian at Brigham Young University (BYU). Rick is well-known for arranging debates on timely topics at meetings, serves on numerous editorial and advisory boards, and is a regular contributor to the Scholarly Kitchen. He has served as president of NASIG and SSP, groups that span from libraries to publishers.
- Also, he and Kent are not related, even if people often misattribute things between them.
Late last year, Rick wrote a two-part contemplation (Part 1 and Part 2) of what the OA movement might have achieved and where things might reasonably go from here, emphasizing that a range of approaches might have to be embraced so we can focus on more central issues.
Rick has also written three books, including Scholarly Communication: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, 2018).
Our wide-ranging discussion touches on how libraries first inspired Rick, his career journey from BYU and back, and his role in shaping discussions around OA through analysis.
We finish with “Discoveries of the Week.”
