So. No longer a #librarian on the off chance someone's following for that. I'll always be an information scientist, cause I paid out the ass for that degree, but I'm now a #socialist in a department of one (how do I keep my labor organizing going??) doing community outreach and engagement for a big state research university. Anyone else doing #CommunityEngagement work in higher ed?
