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.
Special thanks to Kristy, Shaun, Cindy, and Rob for their ongoing effort in 2024 to migrate our existing Refworks users to Zotero and other citation managers after Refworks became an unsustainable product. It can be thankless work to have to communicate disappointing news to faculty and students as well as help them find alternatives. But BIG THANKS to you! Thanks to Kristy for her leadership of the team and to everyone for their thoughtful approach to supporting researchers, designing online materials, providing workshops, and more. I appreciate your user-centeredness as well as your good sense about us deciding to end Refworks access and how to support users with finding better solutions.

I would like to give a big shout out to Emily, Shaun, Kristy, and Hillary F. for their work to create and deliver presentations for our soft launch of a publishing workshop series for NC State! They presented fantastic, relevant, and timely content and they brought their experience, expertise, and energy to make the workshops fun and engaging. They helped to create the foundation of a series of workshops on publishing for the NC State community that will carry on into the future.
— Hilary Davis
Shaun, thank you so very much for jumping in and helping me with a last minute request to give a self-guided tour of our amazing library to one of our valuable employer partners!!! It is such a pleasure working with you and I appreciate your dedication and knowledge and your willingness to go above and beyond to make NC State the prestigious University that it is. I could not have pulled the tour together without you and I am grateful for your help!!! Best, Connie Fowler (Poole College of Management)

Recently I received an enthusiastic message of appreciation from a faculty member in the Poole College of Management for Shaun Bennett's outstanding work. He had emailed Shaun a request for some articles in an accessible format, and he shared that "within 24 hours I had those articles.... [Shaun] also cross-checked the articles with the Disability Resource Office to ensure that what he had was in line with what was needed.... Initiative, responsiveness, and expertise, all of those traits were quite evident, even while we were on winter break hours." The faculty member went on to praise Shaun as a "hidden hero" for helping him and his students to succeed. Hannah Rainey, Assoc. Head of Research Engagement, adds, "This recognition is very well deserved. Shaun is trustworthy and consistent in all the work he does to support the NC State community. I'll add my kudos and say that Shaun is also a joy to work with." Thank you, Shaun! You're terrific!
