What do you as an academic librarian contribute to your campus?

In your own words

91´«Ã½

Being a librarian provides an incredible opportunity to shape how information is stored, distributed, and interpreted. I hope to push the boundaries on conventional forms of knowledge and knowing so that everyone has access to discovering new ways of being and creating. Humans have the capacity to do so much good in the world and librarians have the unique opportunity to support that by encouraging life-long learning and growth in every community.
