director for a small public library in Vesper, Wisconsin in 2009. While I was
not specifically looking for a job in libraries then, the position was open,
and it beat working overnight security shifts. Shortly into the job, I
discovered I liked library work and wanted to pursue a career in libraries. In
2010, I was hired at the Portage County Public Library which diversified my
experience by working in a larger library setting. Soon after, I decided to enroll
at UW-Milwaukee and began my MLIS degree. In 2014, I was hired here at UWSP libraries as the Instructional
Materials Center (IMC) Assistant. In that role, I gained more experience working
with various system-related aspects of library operations and my position was
renamed Library Systems Assistant. In June 2023, I was hired as the Information
Systems Librarian, a faculty position.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #242424; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">What are you most excited about in your new
position? What does it involve? </span></span></b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
Systems Librarian role could be described as Library IT, but it encompasses
much more. What I find most appealing about this position is the variety. On
any given day, I might troubleshoot system issues, assist students and staff at
the reference desk, conduct library instruction sessions for various classes, work
on scholarly writing, or handle unforeseen tasks that arise. Balancing these
responsibilities can be challenging, but so far, it has proven to be an
enjoyable and rewarding experience.</span></p><p><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #242424; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Are there any fun challenges you’ve encountered
in your new position? </span></span></b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Being the go-to person when something isn’t working is a new
and fun challenge for me. In my previous roles, I dealt with similar tasks, but
I had someone more experienced to turn to for guidance if needed. Now I need to
develop those skills myself. Fortunately, I have an incredible network of support
from other UW System libraries, and I lean on them to learn more about our
systems and why/how they work. I also rely on the extensive knowledge and
experience of my UWSP library colleagues to troubleshoot problems as they
arise.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b style="color: #242424;"><span lang="EN">What's your go-to
comfort drink on a rainy day? </span></b><span lang="EN" style="color: blue;">I’m
mostly a water guy, but maybe a hot chocolate of some sort. If I’m
not at work, then definitely a beer. Most likely something darker/more
robust to pair well with gloomy conditions.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b style="color: #242424;"><span lang="EN">If you could bring back
any fashion trend, what would it be?</span></b><b style="color: #242424;"><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"> </span></b><span lang="EN" style="color: blue;">I don’t think there is any trend in particular I’d go
with, but overall I’m all for ditching more of the formal/uncomfortable
clothes that people wear because it’s expected. I’d be happy working in
sweatpants and a hoody most days, shorts and a t-shirt in the summer.
Life’s too short to spend time/money on uncomfortable stuff!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #242424;">If
you were in the Olympics, what sport would you compete in?</span><span lang="EN" style="color: yellow;"> </span></b><span lang="EN" style="color: blue;">Hammer Throw, 100%. I would still get stomped, but at least with my 18 years of
throwing/coaching it, I would at least look somewhat competent.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b style="color: #242424;"><span lang="EN">What was the best class
you took in college and why? </span></b><span lang="EN" style="color: blue;">For
me it’s a tie between three classes: Ancient & Medieval Western
Political Theory (Political Science), East Asia from 1600 to Present
(History), and The New Deal (History). The classes were all at UWSP and
taught by David Williams, Hugh Walker, and Paul Mertz respectively. All
three had an excellent command of their topics and a fantastic ability to
make what can be rather dry material quite compelling.</span></span></p><p><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #242424; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Any advice for people interested in working at a
library? </span></span></b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The best advice is if you are interested in a library position,
gain some hands-on library experience. Volunteering for tasks like basic
collection maintenance will strengthen your skills and help you stand out.
Entry-level library positions are highly sought after, so being persistent and willing
to try and try again is a must.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Nerissa Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749832140212590967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552369786960627602.post-71741939927724336772024-01-28T18:30:00.004-06:002024-01-28T18:30:31.250-06:00Browse New Purchases<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfBAMYwNzNr_B2rBeBqtEt_bG0FFoJrZm-rbKslKJ_qAeQ8XuwNYeI8J2sLm5ml2rZ-X-XqlfjITsezV-JRz2IOzXbvvJJZwoNv4La5MRXXCLy47hldYBlRJNZ-ADDE3kndSUphfvnmRsmEVHcuNWg0pMu3C0v6qra7KvtJQ_614f2I6NUd9-2CElGTnM" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfBAMYwNzNr_B2rBeBqtEt_bG0FFoJrZm-rbKslKJ_qAeQ8XuwNYeI8J2sLm5ml2rZ-X-XqlfjITsezV-JRz2IOzXbvvJJZwoNv4La5MRXXCLy47hldYBlRJNZ-ADDE3kndSUphfvnmRsmEVHcuNWg0pMu3C0v6qra7KvtJQ_614f2I6NUd9-2CElGTnM" width="320" /></a></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Keep informed about our latest acquisitions by exploring <a href="https://wisconsin-uwsp.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01UWI_SF:SP&collectionId=81125121300002130" target="_blank"><b>our guide </b></a>featuring new additions, including print books, ebooks, and media.</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Is there a particular resource you wish the library had? <a href="mailto:librefd@uwsp.edu" target="_blank"><b>Reach out to us</b></a> with the citation information, and we'll check if it's possible to add it to our collection. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Your input helps shape our library to better serve your needs!</span></p>Nerissa Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749832140212590967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552369786960627602.post-55713244382025800352024-01-28T18:18:00.004-06:002024-01-29T11:50:47.746-06:00Fast Access to Scholarly Articles on Popular Websites<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgC-FU0gM5WmMt7P1Ds_7Td44SL9O6DOfsorvtUe_Dtt0TryzgdVPmRQL_G_9rlBfbVCPfTFhdORKVe9PCp80J2HjPie7Tau4jE23HfoWbhRSuNtBgfHHM2cnQZzdpxSZxyxsJmPmdAMIA8z7DYesMOn7ZHjFr2SLoaKVGTC0L9_ghaCqztWyNSJSE6wEo" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="215" data-original-width="761" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgC-FU0gM5WmMt7P1Ds_7Td44SL9O6DOfsorvtUe_Dtt0TryzgdVPmRQL_G_9rlBfbVCPfTFhdORKVe9PCp80J2HjPie7Tau4jE23HfoWbhRSuNtBgfHHM2cnQZzdpxSZxyxsJmPmdAMIA8z7DYesMOn7ZHjFr2SLoaKVGTC0L9_ghaCqztWyNSJSE6wEo=w400-h113" width="400" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is LibKey Nomad?</span></span><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">LibKey

implementing and exploring the use of AI in the field.</span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #232425;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Universities and libraries are discussing the
applications of AI in education and creating policies about the use and ethical
considerations surrounding AI. The UWSP librarians continue conversations about
AI and how we can be informed participants in AI discussions and what the
applications are for our students and our information literacy instruction. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #232425;">Computer scientist and futurist, <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil">Ray Kurzweil</a></b>, said
this about AI and libraries/librarians: “The codification of knowledge and the
process of enhancing human learning will be the cornerstones of the next phase
of human history. In the second industrial revolution, the wealth and power of
nations will be based on non-material resources, by the ability to create and
facilitate knowledge. Seen in this light, the librarian is a natural
leader for the age of knowledge that is now unfolding.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Open Access Week</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"> (Oct. 23-29) and encourages our campus community to take a

This theme encourages conversations about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize
the best interests of the public and the academic community.</span><p></p>
<p class="preflex" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In short, Open Access in the world of research encourages free,
immediate, and online access to scholarly research, and makes it more
accessible to the public. Open Access publishing has a similar goal to <a href="https://oercommons.org/">Open Educational Resources (OER)</a> in
providing students and teachers with free access to educational materials.</span></span></p><p class="preflex" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="preflex" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFnlYT0xHXb1lf22wZmtzLuCp5Cg2YOTDB2uEx7rgThH81rd5NoZTQzlCJmEOmZZ_DlngYRacibKc7Ps8urL2-TShkOLSJsp4isBGy2uzGuZ1cDkepPs0p9B3CU4GcgEpPgaQRhNM_CDoaER_iZWvwLBpHxuZtKm7PBVtlP2UGuV00PN3adnORSGc7XNA" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="583" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFnlYT0xHXb1lf22wZmtzLuCp5Cg2YOTDB2uEx7rgThH81rd5NoZTQzlCJmEOmZZ_DlngYRacibKc7Ps8urL2-TShkOLSJsp4isBGy2uzGuZ1cDkepPs0p9B3CU4GcgEpPgaQRhNM_CDoaER_iZWvwLBpHxuZtKm7PBVtlP2UGuV00PN3adnORSGc7XNA" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="preflex" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our Serials Librarian<a href="https://www3.uwsp.edu/library/Pages/faculty/jenniferHuffman.aspx">, Prof.

look no further than </span><i style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The Hate U Give</i><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
by Angie Thomas! Published in 2017 and inspired by the Black Lives Matter
movement, </span><i style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The Hate U Give</i><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> is a
powerful story about discrimination, activism, and justice. Thomas’s debut

like to be Black in contemporary America. The main character’s intelligent,
observant narrations are an absolute joy to read as she thoughtfully moves the
audience through heavy subject matter. This story is inspiring, uplifting, and
full of hope. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read
about the power of family, the importance of friendship, and how a community
can come together to make their world a better place. This book will speak to
anyone, and I would definitely read it again. </span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 136%;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 136%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Description Excerpt:</u><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 136%;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 136%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">“Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two

She assists with marketing and outreach, including promoting the libraries on the University Library Facebook and Instagram accounts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she researched safe methods to access library materials, which allowed the library to function effectively throughout the pandemic. She also advocated for the physical and mental health safety of members of the university community as she worked to initiate a hybrid model for service. She served as a critical bridge between internal staff operations and ensuring that student support remained front and center. In addition, Carrie provided considerable support to the physical relocation of the University Library operations for the multi-year replacement of Albertson Hall. Her work to organize and assess the collection resulted in a significant reduction of materials that needed to be moved to the temporary location. Carrie also serves on numerous committees and working groups.

Wright led significant field studies and wildlife surveys and was concerned about the impact tourism had on park wildlife, including human versus animal conflicts. Although Wright died in a car accident at age 31, his fervor for our national parks and substantial achievements in furthering conservation biology left a lasting legacy and are a testament to how full and influential a short life can be.</i></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white;
