Our second episode includes an interview with Jen Banas, Associate Professor of Health Sciences and Physical Education, who spoke with Michelle Oh, Education Librarian, and Lisa Wallis, Associate Dean of Libraries and eResources and Systems Librarian about her research involving Chicago Public Library teen librarians and how urban teens do (or don't) utilize public librarians when they have health-related questions.
