I am leading a workshop series this semester! It’s sort of an unexpected development. After I gave my scholarly communication talk I got rather fired up. I had this jolt. Why am I talking about this need and not doing anything about it. It was an eerie moment of responsibility. You see the need. You’re… Continue reading my new workshop series: digital scholarship topics for early career researchers

uw-madison data information literacy reading group
The DIL reading group came about in much the same way that other ideas have popped into my head: one moment it wasn’t there, the next it suddenly was. I was leading an early summer RDS meeting and reflecting on the challenge of figuring out meaningful ways of growing our collective knowledge about data management… Continue reading uw-madison data information literacy reading group
scholarly communication + research libraries
Scholarly communication topics make up a great deal of my personal and professional interests. I’ve rarely gotten to unpack them in my current role, so it was a delight to be asked to speak to around 40-50 of my colleagues at the UW Libraries teaching and learning retreat in early August. Preparing and giving this… Continue reading scholarly communication + research libraries
UW digital humanities + art symposium 2015
DH+A! Another great event I was lucky enough to participate in this past spring. The Digital Humanities Research Network was a breath of fresh air for me in my first year at UW as I struggled to connect and find community. I’m excited to be a coordinator for the 2015-2016 academic year, which will allow… Continue reading UW digital humanities + art symposium 2015
madison public library bubbler
This spring, one of the UW-Madison SLIS student chapters brought Trent Miller from the Madison Public Library (MPL) in to speak. I eagerly hiked over to Helen C. White. There were only 8 total people in attendance – 4 online and 4 in person – a strange shortage for a newly minted Library Journal Mover + Shaker.… Continue reading madison public library bubbler
practical ideas for developing meaningful online engagement
In my quest to finally post and annotate my slate of spring slide decks prior to the fall onslaught, I don’t want to leave out my LYRASIS eGathering talk. It is very near and dear to me as my first invited paid presentation – and my first webinar. Looking back, I am so appreciative to… Continue reading practical ideas for developing meaningful online engagement
RDAP 2015
This year (several months ago, ahem) I presented at the Research Data Access & Preservation Summit, held in nearby Minneapolis. I led a panel focused on different RDM collaboration and service models at institutions. I was joined by Cynthia Hudson-Vitale from Washington University in St. Louis and Amy Nurnberger from Columbia University. Our abstract: Research… Continue reading RDAP 2015
my experience as a projectCSgirls mentor
I started the year in a bleak place. My personal life had turned upside down and I was struggling to feel okay, much less find joy or meaning or purpose. As the days progressed one of the decisions I made was that I needed to start trying things. I needed to engage with the world… Continue reading my experience as a projectCSgirls mentor
LIS Education Symposium [pt. 2]
Part two of my reflections on #LISed15 focuses on my presentation. To read my overall thoughts, go to part one. I’ll cut to the chase: here are my slides if you’d like to quickly page through them. I also wanted to annotate them a bit, though, given that they are so driven by visuals that… Continue reading LIS Education Symposium [pt. 2]
LIS Education Symposium [pt. 1]
This is part one, where I share general thoughts on #LISed15. Check out part two to read through an annotated version of my presentation. I found out about the LIS Ed Symposium in February, when I was contacted by HLS writer Nicole about participating in a keynote talk aimed at bringing together a handful of… Continue reading LIS Education Symposium [pt. 1]
