Am I the only one who somehow thought Justice O'Connor was already dead? Oops

Mauor Adams literally lived in NJ when he was elected, you’re not wrong!

Like on search committees, I can almost always tell based on the CV alone whether to interview the candidate. I’ve never read a cover letter that changed my mind about that.

I find them the hardest part because they seem so redundant with the CV. You have my CV, that tells you whether or not I’m qualified. Can we please abandon this archaic document like much/most of the private sector has?

Agree. It is mystifying. PubMed seems to take UX seriously for the most part, so I don’t understand how they decided this should be the default.

Terrie (our director) invited this woman to come speak to us about AI for an hour at our most recent faculty meeting: nicolehennig.com. That's been about it so far.

I am going to share this chart with the next person who asks me about going to library school. Go to an i-school - but for the love of Pete, don't go into libraries! 4)

Average starting salaries for the new librarians are HALF what their classmates working outside libraries are earning! And the overall average is $18k more than i am earning 13 years post-degree. Can i go back and redo school? 2)
