Fifty/Fifty: Drawing on the Past to Envision the Future of Minitex

As we celebrate fifty years of cooperation and collaborative innovation, we'll look back at what Alice Wilcox, Minitex's first director, said about the early years. What made it work? What were the challenges? We'll see how the tensions between competing value systems played out in libraries over the past fifty years, and we'll look toward what the next fifty years might look like - depending on the choices we make.
