Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
Great work, Lynnee, Cas, and Adam! They led a collaboration with Student Leadership and Engagement to offer two civic information literacy workshops. They developed hands-on activities and instruction that helped students navigate and evaluate information about their local elections. They gave students the option to do traditional searching or use AI chatbots, and led a comparison of the results, encouraging students to think critically about the information they encounter from any source. The workshops were well attended and students were very engaged. Students expressed gratitude for the guidance and time to explore. This was a great idea that was executed very well and can be a model for topical information literacy workshops going forward.

Cas did a stellar job putting together the Connect to Your Campus event! They were so thoughtful in selecting which campus partners to invite, highlighting offices on campus that have a lot to offer faculty but may at times be overlooked. The "speed-friending" format was a hit and many connections were indeed made! This event was just another example of Cas's knowledge of and dedication to the NC State community, which makes them a phenomenal colleague to work with.

Cas has helped me in a big way this semester. They stepped up and led collaborations with campus centers on community exhibits in the Visualization Gallery. This was an easy transition for our community partners because Cas is already a familiar face and proven colleague. I do not think that these collaborations would have gotten as much attention as they deserve if Cas wasn't willing to take the lead. Cas is quick and reliable, and I never wondered or worried about how things were going because I knew it was all in good hands. I have also enjoyed co-teaching a few Social Sciences instruction sessions with Cas. They have great ideas for making our lessons more interactive and useful for students.

Major kudos to Cas, who has gone above and beyond in their work with the Heritage Display Team this semester, doing so much of the legwork in creating and assembling the monthly book displays at Hill Library! Thanks Cas!
