Hi, Sara! Weirdly enough, I was just talking in a discussion post for a different class about the translatable skills between customer service and our field. I think the forward-facing social aspect of reference service librarianship really caught me off guard when I first started working in a public library, but slowly became one of my favorite…[Read more]

Hi, Roya! As a librarian in Contra Costa, I just want to commend you for what a fantastic concept you’ve presented here. How much you care about foster youth really shines in the effort you’ve put forth in this project. Your contextual information and the statistics therein really blew me away, and underscored the need for the program you’ve desig…[Read more]

Mary Joy (MJ) commented on the post, Reflection on Hyperlinked Communities, on the site 5 days, 6 hours ago
I just had the realization myself while kneeling to reshelve some books that, while I can see clearly across the whole library where I work just fine, my students (who are much shorter than I am) are not seeing the library the same way I am. I’ve made efforts to reconfigure so that a three-foot-tall mini-human has better sightlines of everything i…[Read more]

Hi, Kathleen! Colonial Williamsburg has been on my travel list for so long, and somehow I had never explored their virtual tours before! Thank you for drawing this to my attention and for the work you’ve done with your Inspiration Report. I would be so curious to hear more about how you would plan to market or advertise this to your students, b…[Read more]

Hi, Matilda! Your infographic is wonderful – so colorful and catchy! I especially love your “a-ha moments” – and calling the Human Library a “tapestry.” What an excellent metaphor. As a Sacramento native (displaced to the Bay), I’ll have to check out the Rolling Library Train next time I’m in town! It was a pleasure reading and engaging with y…[Read more]

Hi, Jenny! Excellent work on this post. I want to thank you for the video you includes in this discussion; I think it does a fantastic job contextualizing why learning can feel so overwhelming in an age of access. You might find this Pew Research article interesting about the statistics behind how much content we consume on social media:…[Read more]

Hi, Olivia! What a wonderful post. I especially appreciate the statistics chart you included in your reflections on the success of the Human Library, which really helped me quantify why this project would serve your community as it has for so many others! At the same time, I think your acknowledgement that bringing groups of people that are…[Read more]

Hi, Laura! I just wanted to comment and thank you for referencing the 23 Things quiz. What a cool and interactive website – apparently I am the “Visionary” creativity type: “Emotional, passion-driven, and full of ideas, the VISIONARY combines a vivid imagination with a desire for practical solutions. Your introspective and intuitive nature is bala…[Read more]

Hi, Savannah! Right off the bat I want to say that I love the sentence “Let’s talk about the mess.” Your writing style in this post does a great job juxtaposing the concepts that you and many of the readings for this week rightfully point out to be something “uncomfortable” and therefore difficult to hurdle and have productive conversat…[Read more]

Hi, Christie – first of all, congrats on your pending graduation! I wanted to comment and say how much I appreciate the way you phrased the sentence “… this formula provides us with infinite successes…” I like how you’ve reimagined success in Professor Stephen’s equation not as the product but as a mere factor of experience; I find that the no…[Read more]

Hi, Maggie! I wanted to echo the value of Storyworth – what a fantastic website! I remember all the way back in high school, as part of one of my English classes we had to contribute a recording to Storyworth and I had such a fun time creating and listening to other classmates’ contributions. The question “What is the first major new story you c…[Read more]

Hi, Jeanna! I’m in complete agreement with @emmizo– your report is extremely thorough and engaging both visually and in its content. The Battle Bots link was so cool (I love how reactive the crowd was!) and a great way to illustrate just how fun and creative your proposal could be for library patrons. Excellent work!

Hi all! Wanted to recommend the TV show “The Artful Dodger” on Disney+ to all my fellow English Literature friends. It’s pretty graphic (takes place in a Victorian hospital) but it’s a very fun reimagining of Dickens’ characters and is set in 19th century Australian colonies. David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) plays Fagin!
