Sí, se puede.
I am reading these three books: Patriot by Alexei Navalny, Puerto Rico: A National History by Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, and Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI by Yuval Noah Harari. I just finished listening to Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell.
Community, evolving, knowledge.
I can depend on the organization to support my staff and me in the profession. ACRL provides critical connections, information, and space for academic librarians to thrive.
I am the chief evangelist of the library. I ensure that the library is a welcoming, inclusive, and innovative space AND our people, services, and collections support our amazing students and the academic mission of the university.
I love libraries. I have worked at various types of libraries: public/academic/special, large/medium/small, and well-resourced/modest resources. I use those experiences to inform the way I manage my library: obsessing about the needs of people who work at the library, and the people we serve; looking for collaborative and creative solutions; building community and connection; and embracing innovation and welcoming change if it will benefit my library. I acknowledge that sometimes I feel like Sisyphus but mostly, I am grateful, curiously excited, and hopeful about the future of libraries.
