Research & Scholarship Librarian in MI. New to academia after leaving the federal gov't. You might recognize me from my gaming account. This is my "professional" account for networking and such. Opinions are my own. Might as well use this domain I have!
Don't sleep on the other identities either. All three are pretty great. I'm going to have to go check them out and grab some gear. The Dogmen gear is pretty sweet.

That's good advice. I know for this job that service on committees is one thing that is considered come promotion time. I'll definitely be looking to see what it's might suit me and skills.

I haven't been a member of any organization since I started working for the government, so I'm trying to figure out which to get involved in now. ACRL is definitely one I'm considering, along with some local ones.

Getting a chance to network again is something I'm looking forward to!

Not really. It's probably closer to a liaison librarian than anything. I'm at a smaller institution so it's a lot more general since we didn't have the staff to be that specialized.

But I think there's a component that will be scholarly communication over it gets going! Still easing in.

You shouldn't even be allowed to shitpost if you're under, like, 40. The youth don't understand what true shitposting is!

Then again, no one ever said I knew what I was talking about. 🤷‍♂️
