Short on staff, strapped for time, and stretched thin? For small and mid-size library workers, collaboration isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
This session will share strategies for building meaningful partnerships with faculty, student-services offices, and administrators to break barriers and strengthen campus connections. Participants will also explore practical approaches to managing burnout and compassion fatigue, practicing self-advocacy, and sustaining a clear sense of purpose in their work.

Theresa Berger (she/her) is Digital Library Services Librarian at the University of Minnesota, where she oversees digitization and digital collections development for Archives and Special Collections. This presentation will discuss ways in which a closed ChatGPT model can be used to generate alt text (alternative text) in archival image collections, using a "human-in-the-loop" approach. Theresa will highlight both strengths and weaknesses of the tool, as well as suggestions for overall workflows, showing ways in which AI can be used to shift (not replace) resources in an effort to better serve our users, stakeholders, and our communities.

The challenges of combining academia with motherhood are no secret. How does this manifest in librarianship, a traditionally feminized profession? Join us for an interactive, audience-driven webinar where we will share the experiences of academic librarian-mothers. Discussion may include the logistical challenges of parental leave, tenure, and scholarly productivity; the physical challenges of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and caregiving; and the intense emotional difficulty of traumas like infertility, miscarriage, and postpartum depression. Participants will share stories, build solidarity, and connect, with opportunities for individual reflection, group discussion, and anonymous sharing. The language used here is “mother,” but we recognize there are many types of caregivers, parents, and mothers and those who care about them. This session is for anyone who values and wants to explore feminized caregiving labor and its intersections with our profession.
Presenter:
Madeline Kelly is Dean of Libraries at Western Washington University and the author of ALA’s Complete Collections Assessment Manual. Her academic background includes a BA in English and Spanish and an MLIS from Simmons College. Professional interests include library collection assessment and management; leadership; and—increasingly—the intersections of gender, parenthood, and higher education. In addition to her work as a librarian, Madeline is mom to two little girls who make life chaotic, rich, and wonderful.

This presentation reimagines the role of graduate student labor in complex, library-wide digital scholarship projects by defining a new model of librarian/graduate student partnership. Through our work on a community oral history project at a public, urban university, we offer structures, workflows, and values that lead to a successful digital collection and exhibit and more importantly, meaningful work for residential and remote graduate student employees. Find out how librarians can adopt a mentor/mentee relationship to work side-by-side with graduate student workers on library-wide projects that allow graduate students to take ownership of tasks and gain relevant work experience.
Presenter:
Courtney Nomiyama is a Humanities Librarian at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. Previously, she worked at a community college library, a high school library, and state government. Her interests include digital humanities and digital scholarship. She holds a MLIS from the University of Washington and a BA in History and Asian Studies from St. Olaf College. Courtney is also a proud 2019 ALA Spectrum Scholar.
