It’s something that our library has done since I started back in 2019 and it seemed to fit the nuance of this class. It’s a great way to talk to your coworkers and have great food. I have learned so much over these weekly lunches and feel like I have a closer working relationship with them because of it. I hope you…Read more

I haven’t been much of an avid tv/movie watcher since I started the MLIS program because most of my time is spent studying outside of work if I am not involved in family obligations.

It is always easier said than done to give myself some grace. But I get what you are saying. I, in fact, took the night off last night from doing homework and just spent time with family and we went on a walk with the dog. It felt good.

I have never tried yoga before and will have to experiment and see how I like it.

It’s these relationships that foster innovation, creativity, and meet the various needs of the users of the library. Like you alluded to in your post, it applies to teaching as well.

I am trying to soak up as much as I can to bring with me into my new role. There is just so much that being a hyperlinked library can do for even small community college libraries.

These connections are important and sometimes hard to cultivate. Most technical and community colleges are like commuter colleges and no one stays longer than they have to, which can sometimes make having those in-person conversations difficult.

I would love to have more experience at cataloging that what I got in INFO 248, so I am also a bit envious and hope that it is a wonderful experience for you. I also am excited to learn about the hyperlinked library and what it can do for the library that I work with. Excited to be in the class!

You asked a great question and from the perspective of my community college library, it would fall on my limited staff of 3. Unfortunately we are already multi-tasking that adding this would create yet another hurdle that we would be more than happy to accomplish if it better served our patrons. Our view on customer service in providing…Read more

Like you, I was intrigued by what the class has to offer about emerging trends in technologies not only for libraries, but for people in general. I know that my library has taken on learning all we can about AI because we know that the college instructors will come to us for guidance, and literacy sessions. On a separate note, you cat is…Read more

I actually enjoy working at my community college library. It’s part of a small community college, but I get to be personable and know the students. I think it really does depend on the size of the academic library and the need to be specialized that can either make or break an experience. I like being able to work on multiple…Read more

I am excited and nervous at the same time. I have many that are cheerleading me on, so that makes it easier. I love the library I work in, and hope I can do it justice as the new director.
