I was invited to start blogging for ACRLog in November 2014. Blogging on a national platform has been both professionally and personally rewarding. I’ve been able to have a dialogue with librarians about a range of issues, including LIS student concerns, pedagogy, first generation librarianship, open education, peer mentoring, and the Framework for Information Literacy.
