Following a conversational style, we discuss key points in our collaboration and relationship, including how we each came to enter the library and informa- tion science (LIS) profession, what noteworthy projects highlighted our work together, how we brought our identities into our work, and finally where we see our work going in the future as situated within broader professional and social landscapes. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/40072 Title: Mapping Whiteness at the Reference Desk Authors: Hathcock, April; Sendaula, Stephanie 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/40065 Title: Cultivating Critical Dialogue on Twitter Authors: Hathcock, April Abstract: To be a critically conscious librarian is to understand the inherent importance of critical dialogue on weighty social issues such as race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, class, indigeneity, disability, religious freedom, and more. Interestingly enough, however, some of the most productive and enriching of these conversations for critical librarians have been and are taking place on a social media platform that limits commentary to 140-characters or less. For many librarians seeking to engage with and learn from each other and their communities on these vital societal issues, Twitter has become a go-to digital space for initiating critical conversations, learning, listening, and growing. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/36736 Title: From Lawyer to Librarian to Librarian Lawyer: Transitioning to Librarianship from the Legal Field Authors: Hathcock, April Abstract: For many librarians, the library field represents a second or even third or fourth career. Making the transition from another field to library work does not necessarily have to represent a revolutionary career transformation. For this particular author, transitioning from private law practice to work in a number of different libraries, including public, academic, and law, has been a natural progression in further utilizing and developing advocacy-based customer service skills. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
