Inkleaf Takes On Library Operations: An Interview With John Blyberg
by Justin Hoenke
Inkleaf doesn't feel like just another product for librarians to consider and commit a chunk of their budget to. Sure, Inkleaf looks and feels like a system for librarians, but John Blyberg's passion for the platform he built came out through his words: "I want library workers to know they are important and deserve good software." To me, this doesn't sound like a CEO hoping that their next big product will deliver big fiscal results (even though I know that big fiscal results are nice too). This sounds like a human being and a library lover opening up their heart and soul to create and then deliver something that will actually help librarians in their day-to-day lives.
