Research libraries have been facing daunting challenges in the digital world, but not everything is digital in research and the library really wants to connect people with the curators and staff that can help them.

While re-reading Echoing Green's book, Be Bold: Create a Career with Impact , I've been thinking about one of its main ideas--that people have moments of obligation. Some people can pinpoint one particular moment during which their lives took a new turn. Other people experience a series of moments that build upon one another.

Because they were a part of the experience rather than the focal point, they could impart an air of friendliness and participation without making people feel that they had to participate.
