Hofstra University law librarian Tricia Kasting says she's always picking up trivia, which is a useful habit as she tries to keep current in her profession.

As technology modifies traditional responsibilities, this awareness crosses more lines and covers more topics than ever. Kasting describes how she integrates the goal of keeping current into her regular duties.
