35. The Intersection of BL & DT What do Blended Librarianship and Design Thinking have in common? Similar approach to identifying problems and developing solutions Boundary Crossers : A boundary crosser is someone who blends multiple skills into one profession. Pink says “while detailed knowledge of a single area (e.g., traditional librarianship) once guaranteed success, today the top rewards go to those who can operate with equal aplomb in starkly different realms.” Work collaboratively with others in peripheral professional areas
