Here’s what’s in the works for 2025…
Organizational Communication
I’m working on an number of projects to improve all directions of communication at work. These include implementing a structured agenda for our monthly Library All meetings, as well as a feedback for for those meetings. We are also convening the Associate Deans Leadership Team, a middle management team, made up of department heads from across the DU Libraries, to break down organizational silos and tackle big issues like our org/committee structure and management of institutional knowledge–think, “where are the minutes for that meeting?”
More MLIS Teaching
I’m very excited to be teaching LIS 4040 Management of Information Organizations in DU’s Morgridge College of Education for the spring semester. The course is, “an introduction to current theory and practice of management in information organizations through the study of organizations, communications, decision making, planning, leadership, human resources and budgeting.” I had a fantastic experience teaching LIS 4321 Collection Collection Management during the fall 2024 quarter.
Research & Service
After 7 years in medical librarianship, I’m shifting gears back to “regular” academic librarianship. I’ve also been volunteering for the Colorado Wyoming Network of Women Leaders, a fantastic organization that supports women in all areas of higher ed work. Areas of interest include communication, management/administration, and library technology.
