He found stands of trees that might be the sign of collapsed caves. <span style="font-style: italic;">Searching those areas on foot uncovered two complete skeletons of a previously-unknown species!</span><br> <br> Those discoveries changed the field and challenged the linear narrative they'd been writing. With new discoveries taking place even last week, <span style="font-style: italic;">they're working to balance their desire for narrative with their desire to include new data. </span><br> <br> This story keeps getting more difficult to tell, <span style="font-style: italic;">which is a common complaint of students who are working on research papers</span>. When new sources challenge the linear narrative they'd been constructing, they don't know how to include information that branches off in new directions. <br> <br> <span style="font-style: italic;">Challenging linear thinking is an important job of libraries</span>, whether they're in a school or business setting. Just like researchers gain new insight from considering different points of view, we gain new insight when we talk with librarians who work in different settings. <br> <br> At <span style="font-weight: bold;">SWON's Regional Spring Luncheon</span>, you'll get to participate in a World Cafe, where you'll share with and hear from librarians from academic, school, public and private libraries. Yes, people from all four of these library types have already signed up. Together, you'll bring new perspectives to the challenges you face.
