The earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria are absolutely devastating. My husband is Turkish and we are very lucky that our family is safe. If you are able, please donate to help those impacted - @UNICEF @uamasocial or Selahattin's GoFundMe page linked below in Lindsey's thread❤️

This looks like a must-read for anyone engaged in supporting undergraduate research in academic libraries. Way to go @hailthefargoats @mhensle1 @StephDK @ALA_ACRL & chapter authors - I can't wait to dive in!
I'm so jazzed about this book -- it's full of insight and resources and stories about undergraduate research and how the library is a crucial partner and collaborator. Thrilled to have gotten to work with @mhensle1 and @StephDK on this✨

Renewers, I have created a new data collection project focusing on formal leaders' decisions to leave their positions due to low morale. The project includes an opportunity for formal leders to reflect on & share signs/signals to leave. forms.gle/vP2Fn9zx2U3zZEWZ8
"Everywhere that universities need to go, the library is at the heart of," says @gkraschk from @ncsulibraries. Yes! #DesigningLibraries9
At the @alkeklibrary makerspace, focusing too much on tech-heavy spaces as the change agents alienated some library workers; rather, frame technology as a tool that helps us meet user needs and campus goals. #DesigningLibraries9
I am greatly enjoying scrolling through @StudioX_RCL's dynamic 2022 Annual Report: dslab.digitalscholar.rochest…. Great job @emilygwynne @moody_meaghan & team! #DesigningLibraries9
Faculty were clamoring for an integrated, interdisciplinary center that supported XR (extended reality). @StudioX_RCL was the result, bringing together space, tech, expertise, and community, says @emilygwynne. #DesigningLibraries9
Last panel of the day: Emerging Technologies and Their Impact on the Future of Library Design and Programming. Moderated by @gkraschk @ncsulibraries, featuring @emilygwynne @StudioX_RCL, & @rechnita @txst. #DesigningLibraries9
Academic libraries have a recruitment & retention problem. Creating appealing policies & workspaces (even w/o budgets for full renos!) should be a top priority for libraries. We're already losing so many people to industry due to salary, toxic culture… #DesigningLibraries9
One panelist reflects on how her teenage boys want to work, comparing them to future employees. They want to be remote when they want to be & co-located when they want to be! They need to be convinced of - and internalize - the value. This is so spot-on. #DesigningLibraries9
Panelist predictions for next ten years of work: more liberal WFH policies, spaces tailored to meet functions of library work, flexibility and fluidity of spaces, bringing “residential quality” w/ warmth & connection to workplace. #DesigningLibraries9
Some libraries pressured by university admin to create in-person transactional spaces that replicate traditional reference/consult/advising structures but many users prefer meeting remotely. Strategically, makes sense to prioritize employee work community. #DesigningLibraries9
A focus in this panel on creating spaces where people WANT to be, which requires advocacy in the face of space scarcity & space repurposing by university admin in response hybrid work practices. Spaces that center employee well-being support retention. #DesigningLibraries9
