Databases A To Free: Open Access Databases' Presence On The Databases A To Z Page, Vickie Montigaud-Green, Taylor Baugher

Presentations

Starting with the premise that most academic libraries have a Libguides Database A-Z, our poster explains the metacognitive exercise in evaluating our Database A-Z list and adding open-source/ government databases. We realized that after graduation, our students would no longer have access to expensive journals and databases; and, our goal was to provide students with free academic standard options that they would continue to use in their post-graduation lives.

Presentations

At the Alexander Campbell King Law Library we had to get creative in the ways we redesigned methods for communication, instruction, outreach, and wellness for the library's staff, faculty, and students in 2020.

Through An Inequitable Collective Trauma Lens: Elevating Narratives On Mental Health And Covid-19, Juliana Espinosa, Sheila García Mazari, Samantha Minnis

Presentations

This panel session sought to elevate the voices of library professionals who had been impacted both personally and professionally by COVID-19. Speaking from their perspectives at different career points, the panelists shared their experiences, as well as how the pandemic has compounded for some, several pre-existing collective traumas. Panelists addressed the crisis narrative inherent in librarianship, and discussed how the profession can reframe its approach to inequitable trauma, unsustainable workloads, and other structural inequities. The handout provided lists the questions that panelists addressed, a resources list for further reading, and an accountability agreement for participants to engage with the space.


Making The Most Of An Adjunct Placement, Leah Morin, Austin Phillips, Jon Jeffryes May 2021

Making The Most Of An Adjunct Placement, Leah Morin, Austin Phillips, Jon Jeffryes

Presentations

This poster discusses approaches to ensure that adjunct placements leverage the temporary placement to the benefit of both adjunct librarians and institutions. Librarians can leverage short-term employment to develop skills and gain experience in new library environments. Libraries maintain services while seeking longterm solutions and progress on key projects leveraging skill areas supporting adjunct librarians’ professional development. Clear career goals, intentional supervision, and guidance on translating experience to future job applications can ground an adjunct appointment in mutually-beneficial principles.
