Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

This interactive workshop will provide an introduction to building inclusive library instruction for transgender and gender non-conforming students. Participants will ground themselves in an understanding of how their core values relate to trans* liberation and learn strategies for translating those values to the classroom. Through the lens of Jackson and Hardiman’s Social Identity Development Model (1997), participants will explore how sitting with discomfort and accountability increases capacity for trans* allyship.

It's Not Imposter Syndrome: Resisting Self-Doubt As Normal For Library Workers, Nicola Andrews

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

Library workers, as with other professions, are quick to diagnose ourselves and others with imposter syndrome when we doubt or devalue our everyday work. However, methods of coping with imposter syndrome have changed little in the forty years since the term was first theorized, and often centre on feel-good fixes which do not address power imbalances between the sufferer and their workplace environment. Here, I examine the origins of imposter syndrome, and identify factors often misinterpreted as imposter syndrome but which are instead the product of oppressions such as precarious labour, racism, and sexism. By unpacking how oppression and gaslighting …

Building Strategic Consensus: A Grassroots Planning Process, Shawn P. Calhoun, Erika Johnson

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

Many strategic plans start from a top-down approach, with a committee or key group of stakeholders making decisions affecting the entire organization. While the process of developing and implementing a comprehensive strategic plan requires significant tactical work, it can also foster a more inclusive, staff-centered organization. The Gleeson Library | Geschke Learning Resource Center at the University of San Francisco has just completed its first library-wide strategic plan. In alignment with our values and mission, we intentionally chose a more democratic, grass-roots process designed to build consensus and foster inclusivity by engaging and empowering staff across all departments.

Where They Lead, I Will Follow: Serving Remote Graduate Student Populations, Penny Scott

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

In 2012, the University of San Francisco's School of Management underwent a monumental change in both location and student access to academic services. In that year, all classes and most staff and student services for the MBA and other business graduate programs were relocated to a new site near the Financial District, which is across the city from the main campus. Suddenly, a major group of my service population was no longer on campus near me or near the library! In this poster, I will describe the process I undertook to remain visible and accessible to this important group of …

Disrupting Tech While Being Pro-Tech, Elisa J. Rodrigues, Anders G. Lyon

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

As more libraries take on social justice concerns, pro-technology library workers have the responsibility of vetting and implementing meaningful tools that both meet patron needs and privacy. The goal of this program is for library workers to think critically how we might take a more measured approach to review and integrate technology into library services. Participants are encouraged to think beyond the glitz and glam of new toys and consider how innovation can work in favor of community goals and library ethics. BIPOC, paraprofessionals, students, recent grads, and those with reservations about technology are highly encouraged to attend.
