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.
Requests for incorporating AI tools into course-based instruction have increased this semester. As someone less familiar with these tools, it can be intimidating to try and figure out the landscape. Tyler, Jenny, and Kristy have been a huge asset with their willingness to let us shadow their classes where they teach AI tools for subject-specific sessions. I appreciate their generosity in communicating about sessions where we can lurk!

Special thanks to Hannah, Tyler, and Kristy who have quickly become Research Engagement's go-to colleagues for learning about AI research tools. They've created learning opportunities for others in the department, developed a workshop for a local library conference, and are designing a workshop for students. I recently borrowed extensively from their content to enhance my own instruction for a group of graduate students and, honestly, could not have done this without their amazing work! Their content is conceptualized and packaged very well and so useful! Thank you!!!!

Tyler saved the day when he filled in on short notice in the Teaching & Visualization Lab and Game Lab at Hunt. Near the end of the semester, a busy time for us all, Tyler helped prepare and support the Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences Symposium in the Teaching & Visualization Lab with only a few days notice. More recently when a colleague had to be out, he helped a summer session course use the Game Lab with only 1 hour of notice. On both occasions, Tyler fearlessly jumped into ambiguous situations in order to make sure our users had a positive and seamless experience. We am grateful for his availability, positivity, and willingness to just roll with it! Thank you, Tyler!
