Community Notes

Gather ‘round, Dear Adventurers, to witness the heroic deeds of your fellow librarians! Students, like zombies, scroll aimlessly past library resources with their eyes glazed over. Outdated and unengaging content sits on library websites infecting the masses. The librarians must take to the forge to smith their outreach weaponry. Our valiant heroes face off against demogorgons, mindflayers, and the most fearsome enemy of all: social media influencers.
Nothing is more important to a successful campaign than the ability to create materials for your party. Sometimes we make something from nothing, often from an inspirational model, and on rare occasions from a wealth of riches commandeered through feats of bravery, and grants. For this session, we’ll have a group of folks ready to share their tale of fantasy, wonder, and merriment.
Each person will be offered a mere FIVE minutes to set the scene and tell us all about a material that they made or that someone else made and they covet. This could be a video series, a tutorial, a handout, an exercise, perhaps even - dare we even say it… a LIBGUIDE?! It’s our chance to crow from the ballroom stage about our hardwon accomplishments, lead an impassioned speech to enlist future collaborators, and introduce others to the sheer majesty and brilliance of a material that makes us fanperson hard.
Here is our Call for Participation!

...Are you brave enough to join us?
