Written by Hello everyone, I hope everyone is settling in and exploring the site.
As we move through the semester together, I want to highlight a few special blog categories you’ll see along the way. These are meant to give you inspiration, spark ideas, and help you connect what we’re learning to the wider world of libraries.
🌟 Hyperlinked Jobs – These posts share job descriptions from the past few years that reflect the Hyperlinked Library model in action. They’re a wonderful way to see how our course themes translate into real professional opportunities.
🌟 Inspiration Posts – These are meant to get you thinking in new directions. Sometimes they’ll point you to a trend, a tool, or a creative project that might connect to your own assignments or future plans.
🌟 Connections Posts – These invite you to think about the profession more broadly—what’s happening now, where things might be headed, and how you might step into those conversations as you prepare for professional roles.
I hope these categories will be useful touchpoints as you write, reflect, and explore. Think of them as little guideposts along the way—reminders that our work together is deeply connected to the evolving practice of librarianship and to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for each of you.

Categorization and tagging! I love it! ;P
@grafzepp. I tag as much as I use categories for this class. I think it’s cleaner overall and for the main course blog it makes sense. Absolutely fine if anyone wants to tag their posts in their blogs.
