We’re making a push to finish up one of our first big tasks in the Alma migration. Our integrations spreadsheet is due in to Ex Libris this week, and I wanted to thank the many people who have contributed to filling it in. This is essentially a complicated menu of features involving Alma’s communication with... more ›
Although it was the North Carolina Library Association (NCLA) 63rd Biennial Conference, it was my first time attending. Since NCLA was held here in Winston-Salem, I made sure that I started the conference during the pre-conference sessions on Tuesday and endured till the end at the closing keynote on Friday. Jam packed full of a... more ›
Last week, I attended the 63rd Biennial Conference for the North Carolina Library Association here in Winston-Salem, and it was an excellent conference as always. A prime highlight was the privilege to give a presentation on our library’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee with Molly Keener and Monesha Staton-Fluker. Being one of the first sessions... more ›

Of the things I’ve always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity, attending a professional conference has always been high on my list. I figured I’d give NCLA a try since it was in Winston-Salem and I’d been encouraged to submit a poster with Ashelee from Special Collections and Archives. There weren’t so many... more ›

Called Diversity Delineated, Inclusion Integrated, it got off to an energetic start with the music video by Aerosmith and Run DMC of Walk this Way. A nice introduction... more ›
After a few days in Tampa, FL, for the DLF/DigiPres19 conference, I was convinced all conferences should be at the coast in October. (Well, at least until tropical storm Nestor chased us away!) DLF and DigiPres are two collocated events in the same week, and registrants can choose to attend either or both events. DigiPres... more ›
My first NCLA was a couple of very fun days! I was glad to not have the stress of presenting, so I could focus on the wide array of available sessions and making friends across discipline. Having mostly attended archives conferences, I enjoyed the opportunity to cross paths with a group of library workers from... more ›
Attending the NCLA 2019 Biennial Conference, along with a host of ZSR colleagues plus hundreds of library staff from across the state and region, makes for a fun, insightful three days. This year’s conference is the best NCLA I’ve attended to date. As with any conference, there are sessions affirming what you know, sessions generating... more ›
Digitorium is an annual Digital Humanities conference hosted by the University of Alabama. The conference website explains that the name, Digitorium, “was inspired by the Medieval scriptorium as an early center for the creation, visualization, and dissemination of knowledge.” It is aptly named, as the conference brought together DH practitioners across disciplines to showcase DH... more ›
