Next time some tells me librarians are quiet, I’m sharing this video from my #LMCC session. We’ve got ideas and we’re not afraid to talk about them.

Interesting - one library learned that the word "loan" for the academic library emails made students think about their financial loans and was causing stress. So, they changed their wording. Vocabulary matters! #LMCC

I'm attending the 10th annual Library Marketing and Communications Conference for the next two days. Posts will be sporadic this year because I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of group therapy for... reasons... #LMCC

The librarians have been saying this for awhile…
One of the most important things we could do right now is start teaching kids how to spot misinformation + disinformation. It should be in the curriculum starting in elementary school. Media literacy needs to keep pace with the media ecosystem. We’re not even close right now.

Every day you get to help college students vote is a good day. I'm happy to help you too! I've been rather good at navigating awful state board of election websites.
