Classic Blunder #2 – Assuming resistance is a bad t

i remember when i was in library school, a lot of people talked about librarians who were resistant to change and would try to derail your exciting and innovative projects. often, this discussion was couched in ageist “us” (young, innovative librarians) vs. “them” (old, set-in-their-ways librarians) terms, but even when it wasn’t, the assu...

Classic blunder #1 – Let’s just try it and see wha

there are a lot of popular assumptions people make in this profession that lead us to make classic blunders. these can be assumptions about the change process, assumptions about our colleagues, and assumptions about our patrons. we can go into developing a new service or technology with the best of intentions and fail spectacularly because of th...

The elusive dream of work-life balance

i have been wanting to write a post on work-life balance for a while, especially after spending a week at acrl assessment immersion with a bunch of people who are deeply committed to their work and all define balance in their lives differently. some of the people there are so active in the profession, so plugged-in, publish a ton, travel a ton, ...

Invisible goalposts, support and having a plan

this summer, i was engaged with quite a few projects (several of which i was in charge of), but was able to make time to focus on scholarship just about every friday. part of that, in my opinion, is this blog. this is how i engage with the profession, share my ideas, and have professional conversations with others. my writing here is certainly d...

Becoming Zen in the face of criticism

it’s been extremely challenging to post here regularly (though i’m getting better about it!), not because of a lack of ideas, but because of a lack of down-time. summer came late (like mid-july!) to portland and we’re trying to make the most of it before the days of endless gray descend. i’m lucky that i don’t suffer from seasonal affective...
