Great article! Especially on feedback surveys which can bring bias into the process - “opportunities for broad input from stakeholders…should direct respondents to evaluate key job-relevant competencies rather than offer free-form responses, to minimize comments on less relevant personality traits.”

Yes! This CRL article is such a great use of our social performance work. I hope unstructured meet and greets and meals are on their way out, since they invite judgement on qualities unrelated to potential job performance.
We’re opening Bethanie’s Room, a shelter to provide safety and care for 75 women each night. We must raise $250,000 for renovations and staffing. This week, your gift will be matched up to $20,000 thanks to generous donors, doubling your impact! https://blanchethouse.app.neoncrm.com/forms/48
Last chance for Search Advocate workshops before the program closes! hr.oregonstate.edu/search-advoc...
Did you know that you don't have to be a student to take advantage of some college library's resources?
Is NCORE gone? 😩 It’s listed under “previous communities” with a 2025 end date: swchrs.ou.edu
The search advocate program was one of the best professional development programs I have ever participated in. As a @oregonstate.edu alum, this bums me out.
I'm proud to have successfully defended my dissertation last month, but sad to hear about the "sunsetting" of the OSU search advocate program. I hope there is a way to retain and grow a national community of practice. commons.pacificu.edu/work/sc/7b6c...

The latest on potential Oregon impacts - OBOB has been a great way for my kids to encounter different perspectives. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
It’s hard to see not only these cancellations but the celebratory tone.
Made it to #acrl2025! The program feels like it reflects library issues from a year (or a lifetime) ago, so I’m hoping for informal spaces to discuss everything that’s going on now.
State library funding through IMLS benefits academic libraries too - Answerland is a beloved service and an important source of research support. library.pdx.edu/news/answerl...
I’m grateful for Rep. Bonamici’s leadership on this letter and it’s time to start calling: www.congressweb.com/aam/97/

The calm before the wild weather forecasted for tonight. There’s already lots of flotsam and velella velella washed up on the beach.
This is such a loss. The collection grants were an important way to add library resources on health equity topics.
Donated!

A surprise literary gift on the telephone pole outside the house - “It’s a miracle to realize somebody loves you. - James Baldwin”

I picked up mine! Thanks for creating this.
Trying to increase my giving while everything is so chaotic - March will be blood 🩸 and time (blanchethouse.org)
But then Stanford made the Chronicle roundup of DEI changes with this: stanforddaily.com/2025/02/13/d...
