Comments
from the About page of "So What?"
Started in spring 2018 with a launch planned for fall 2018, So What? is a podcast about library and information science research and why it matters.
So What? is created and produced by students at the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western University. Our student-driven approach is central to our project; we want to provide students with the opportunity to develop technical skills and practice knowledge dissemination. We believe strongly that practical projects and professional development pays off in dividends, in our profession and in our communities.
