Pretty disappointed to look out my window at Mockingbird Park this morning and see that youth sports have resumed with ZERO social distancing or masks. An absolute disgrace, @Jean_Stothert. We’re still in a pandemic and we’d all like it to be over, but this is just prolonging.

I always find value in the @open_textbooks programming and have been enjoying the virtual Summit SO much! I haven’t been able to attend as many live as I hoped, but I’ve gone to the Open Pedagogy and Textbook Heroes sessions and they were both absolutely phenomenal! #OTNSummit20

We had our LAST standing meeting for Team G’s Emerging Leaders project today! We’ve met every week since February to work on this project and I’m really proud of the work we’ve done. Just one presentation left, and of course the poster session at @ALALibrary Annual 2021.

Working with my team on our project has been such a great experience! 👏
The @ALALibrary Emerging Leaders program recognizes the best and brightest new leaders in our profession. Meet the class of 2020 in our May issue. bit.ly/35zfIJL

Just filled out my ALA ballot! Voted for @HeyLibraraman for President cuz he was a good LIS prof (#RollTide) and for everyone who has been a member of ALA for 5 years or less in hopes that they blow up “how it’s always been done”. Would’ve voted for Core if I was a member!

Also for the person who listed winning a childhood spelling bee in 1994 as one of her greatest accomplishments... I see you 👀😂👏

Our first 3 cohorts are on track to save @unomaha students over $190,000 at the end of this semester! They are doing great things and we can’t wait to welcome another cohort! 🥳🥳🥳
Great initiative from our @UNOmaha Criss Library team to support faculty creating original, high quality, open-access course content for students -- and thanks to all the faculty whose work enhances affordability for our students! unomaha.edu/criss-library/ne…

The loveliest woman just helped me get the last hotel room at the hotel I need to stay at for @ALALibrary Midwinter 2020. She was so kind and helpful!

Had a great time at #IANELib2019! Now I’m ready to wallow in this cold-that-won’t-quit for the weekend 😴

I feel personally attacked by this relatable content
Every email I ever send: Hello! I am extremely excited to be corresponding with you! You can tell by the number of exclamation points I use! Here is one sentence with a period so that I don’t come across as manic. Thanks!

Always always #usethemic
I have been noticing many of the speakers have not been using a microphone here at #IANELib2019. I understand if they aren’t working and you don’t want to stand behind a podium, but please just use the mic if there is one.

Excited to hear from some Emerging Leaders this morning! #IANELib2019
My favorite presentation of the day goes to @EricaRoseLibSci... she really DOES present like a BOSS! 😜 #IANELib2019

Put your plan on your website - let people see what you plan to do! #IANELib2019

Plan priorities should get you a little out of your comfort zone! #IANELib2019
Your plan should include the new, shiny things not the things you're keepin on keepin on #IANELib2019
Appreciative of the conference handouts on the website and the ease with which I was able to access them! #IANELib2019
Your fancy phone is the WORST technology your 5 year old will ever see in her life! 😱 #IANELib2019

It doesn't work to take technology and put it on top of the old system. We need to take the best ideas we have and ask how we take technology to bring these things to life. We need a whole new system. That's what changes the world. #IANELib2019
It took FIFTY years for electricity to catch on. #IANELib2019
