The Economist on Libby and OverDrive

Posted by Melody on Sunday, Feb 5, 2023

On February 1, OverDrive (the company that runs the Libby app) removed all copies of The Economist from our digital collections. OverDrive made this decision due to a change in how long The Economist's publisher was willing to have an issue checked out (24 hours). OverDrive did not want to work with this change and decided to pull the title from their offerings rather than meet the demands of the publisher. 

The Economist is one of our most-loved and widely read digital magazines. We share your disappointment about this change.

I've been at the library for more than 10 years now, and I still find joy when choosing the best books for our readers. My current reading journey is taking me book by book through different genres.

  • Both/and thinking : embracing creative tensions to solve your toughest problems

    by Wendy K. Smith

    658.4092/Smith
    Nonfiction, Business

    "Life is full of paradoxes. How can we each express our individuality and be a team player? How do we balance work and life? How can we take care of ourselves while supporting others? How can we manage the core business while innovating for the future? For many of us, these competing and interwoven demands are a source of conflict. Since our brains love to make either-or choices, we choose one option over the other. We deal with the uncertainty by asserting certainty. There's a better way. In Both/And Thinking, Wendy Smith and Marianne Lewis help readers cope and thrive with multiple, knotted tensions at the same time. Drawing from more than twenty years of pioneering research, they provide an actionable framework for transforming these tensions into opportunities for innovation and personal growth. Filled with practical advice, groundbreaking research, and fascinating stories, Both/And Thinking will completely change the way you approach your most vexing problems."--

    I love this book! It might be focused on large institutions solving highly complex problems, but it does so in a way that it pulls apart the different values held by stakeholders and finds win-win situations for the best solution possible. Those who have to negotiate or mediate problems among multiple interests should give this a read. -Melody
