I'm honored that the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has chosen to award me and my collaborator Corey Halaychik, with the 2018 University Libraries Sections (ULS) Outstanding Professional Development Award.
We are being honored for our creation and co-directorship of The Library Collective and our efforts "redefining and revitalizing professional development for librarians" with "accessible, practical learning for library professionals" and our "transparent, democratic approach" to programming. There's an interview with the two of us up on the ULS blog, too, that shares more about our motivation.
We'll accept the award in June at the 2018 American Library Association conference in New Orleans.
