Talking All Things RA
This essay I wrote after interviewing an old coworker of mine for LIS 763: Readers Advisory Services fulfills Learning Outcome 1b. I was able to ask a reference librarian questions about her work philosophies and practices. She shared with me the ways that she balances her professional ideals with the practicalities and unpredictabilities of the actual work. Special attention was paid to offering diverse titles in a highly homogenous community and considering neurodivergence when setting expectations for staff.
