If you are curious about transformative agreements, just listen to this episode of the Texas Library Association Libraries Transform Texas Podcast. It was very interesting, easy to understand and gave me a better understanding of transformative agreements.📚

Inspiring read... "We began questioning: What might have caused these future English teachers to lose their love for reading? If they weren't readers, how could we support and nurture them?" 📚

There is some interesting feedback here for people in academic libraries that are on the hiring side. 📚

This article, from @chronicle.com, is from December 2024 but is still a thought provoking read and worth the time it takes to read it. 📚

This is very sad to me. "Young people are reading less for pleasure, too. In 2020, only 17 percent of 13-year-olds surveyed said they read for fun almost every day. That figure was 27 percent in 2012 and 35 percent when data collection began in 1984,..." 📚

Also, part of attending conference is about just making connections w/other librarians in general which takes targeted effort. I always have a few "go to" conversation starters in my back pocket for when I'm standing in line beside someone or sitting beside someone waiting for a session to start. 📚

Interesting interview with someone in the field of publishing. 📚

To all of my friends out there in #LibraryLand. This is an excellent position for a newish librarian OR a school librarian wanting to make the jump to higher ed. Please share broadly or with anyone you know that might be interested. 📚

There's some really great information in this @ala-acrl.bsky.social guide about advocating for the inclusion of the IL question module in your institution's NSSE. 📚

EXCELLENT article in the current issue of @ala-acrl.bsky.social College & Research Libraries News for all of my teaching librarian friends out there in #LibraryLand What IS information? 📚

It's a big day in #LibraryLand when you get to be the stand in for a sculpture while the team practices the big reveal!! #OtherDutiesAsAssigned 📚

Big day yesterday in #LibraryLand! School Librarians: The Missing Piece is a collaborative event between our library, Education faculty & school libs. At the event, the panel talks about the power of collaborating with a school librarian with an audience of students preparing to become teachers. 📚

This is VERY exciting news in #LibraryLand and hopefully other places as well. Mychal Threets has been a huge, positive influence in the library world over the past few years and I'm excited that he's in this role. 📚

As a former school librarian, I really enjoyed this episode. Definitely a recommended listen for school librarians because it's VERY affirming. All librarians should consider sharing through their social media channels so people can start to understand what it means to be a school librarian. 📚

Tomorrow's the big day in #LibraryLand. Not gonna' lie, I'm kind of excited about this. Year two has brought about some exciting additions such as collaborating with librarians from a neighboring university and our ability to offer continuing education hours for attendees! 📚

So, this made me chuckle. People in #LibraryLand are so clever. 📚

As a former school librarian, one of my interests is K16 collaborations so being part of this podcast was a delight. Give it a listen and let me know about some K16 partnerships you are part of. 📚

Woo hoo! Here it is friends, the Texas Library Association Libraries Transform Texas podcast I was on with my colleague Chelsea Kuehler. Give it a listen and let me know about any K12 partnerships you are involved in. 📚

Lots of good content here with access for all. 📚

Great webinar!! 📚

This was a very interesting episode of the @tihe.bsky.social podcast especially the part about Q&A's at the end of a presentation/workshop. 📚

We're hiring! This is a great opportunity for a newly minted librarian OR a school librarian wanting to make to leap to higher education. Please share with anyone you think that might be interested. 📚

DEADLINE APPROACHING! Presenting at the 2025 TLA Conference led to another presentation opportunity occurring today, at the CORAL spring conference. You never know WHAT opportunities will arise because you submit a proposal. You do not have to be a Texas librarian or member of TLA to submit. 📚

Yesterday we began the planning process for School Librarians: The Missing Piece, a collaborative program with WTAMU Education Faculty, local school librarians and academic librarians from Cornette Library. This will be the second time we've offered this program. Watch the video to learn more. 📚

This kind of thing happens to me all the time. In some unusual setting, I'll think of "the thing" and then have to send myself an email so I remember "the thing".

Excellent episode from the Think Fast Talk Smart podcast. It really had some good takeaways that are easy to implement and relevant to what many of us do as librarians. 📚

Cornette Library is hiring! If you've ever dreamed of being an academic librarian, this is your chance. This would also be the perfect position for a school librarian wanting to make the move to higher education. Please share with anyone you think who might be interested. 📚

Sometimes students leave fun surprises for us in #LibraryLand. 📚

There is still time to submit your proposal to present at the 2026 Texas Library Association Conference in Houston. You DO NOT have to be a Texas librarian to submit. Deadline is June 23 at midnight. Please share with anyone you think who might be interested. 📚

I'm excited about this development in #LibraryLand. We record next week. I'll post the link to the podcast next month. 📚

Just in case you didn't see this. 📚

Another great episode from the @tihe.bsky.social podcast. You do not have to be in HE to benefit from this conversation. There are many takeaways and things to think about for all types of educators at all levels of education. 📚

Excited to be presenting at the Council of Research & Academic Libraries (CORAL) Spring Conference June 5th, which is virtual AND free! Visit the website to register and hop over to the conference schedule page to read more about my presentation. 📚

The Texas Library Association is now accepting proposals for the 2026 conference in Houston. You do not have to be a Texas librarian to submit. Submit your proposal by June 23 for a chance to share your expertise, ideas, and innovations with library professionals from across Texas. 📚

When I've gone through difficult moments in my life, it's been helpful to hear about the experiences of people who are going through something similar. If you are in the middle of a job search and are feeling discouraged, this is the episode for you.

For all of my academic library friends out there in #LibraryLand. If you are attending the TLA conference next week, swing by the CULD booth (2530) in the exhibit hall to grab your exclusive CULD badge ribbon & don’t miss out – the first 100 visitors each day will receive a FREE branded koozie! 📚

This is the other session I'm part of next week at the annual TLA conference. In this session, we're sharing about a program that we do at our library called the Texas Panhandle Librarians' Symposium. I hope to see all of my #LibraryLand friends there!! #TXLA25 📚

This would be an excellent position for a school librarian wanting to make the switch to HE or for a newly minted librarian as it only requires one year of experience. Check it out, please share broadly and more specifically with people that you think might be interested. 📚

Looking forward to this presentation with my friend at the upcoming Texas Library Conference in April. I hope to see all of my #LibraryLand friends there!! ##TXLA25 📚

AI Librarian? Interesting... 📚

AI Librarian? Interesting... 📚

What a great opportunity for my school library friends out there. 📚

Today, Cornette Library held the 20th annual research poster session with 39 faculty posters, 1 faculty book & 50 student posters with 282 visitors! It's a massive event with months of preparation. I work with a wonderful team to put on this event for the WTAMU community. #LibraryLand. 📚

If you are wanting to up your LinkedIn game, this episode is a must listen! Tons of valuable information.

Even though the target audience for this is HE faculty that teach semester long courses, there are many good takeaways here that teaching librarians can apply to one shot sessions and our teaching practice overall. 📚
