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.
Huge shoutout to Shira for coming through on a collaborative lesson for a class. They taught students about using our databases to retrieve newspaper articles and spent some time explaining Boolean operators and other features of good searches - all in a limited time frame. Students were absorbing the information and were clearly learning something new, as evidenced by the smiles, widening eyes, and assertive head nods. More impressive, however, was the speed and depth with which Shira answered their questions, providing additional resources that satisfied the students and instructor alike. This was expert library instruction, and I'm honored to call Shira a colleague.

The Bridging to the Wolfpack team put together a fantastic full day conference and workshop for high school librarians to learn about collegiate level information literacy, instruction, research, AI, and more! Their hard work in planning such an intentional experience for librarians across the state will have huge ripple effects for first year college students successfully engaging in research and writing at NC State, coming in more prepared as their librarians "bridge" them to these higher level competencies. I am especially impressed by Shira's willingness to hit the ground running in planning and executing the event, only starting her Fellowship a year ago. She and the team listened to the needs of these librarians and immediately took action to fill the gap, ultimately benefitting the students who will join the NC State community in the future. It was such a joy to witness the day and hear positive feedback throughout from the attendees.
