Ridiculously enthusiastic librarian. Mom of twins. Administrator. Opinions my own.

Shout out to my colleague Kaitlyn Tanis @UDelaware for creating a fantastic guide on researching a candidate, getting information about Delaware elections, and more: https://t.co/4RDGkbwfKM Don't let your students be among the disengaged!!

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

For any @UDelaware faculty that are on the fence about applying for a @UDLibrary OATM grant, I'll be on zoom tomorrow 4/19 from 10:30a EST to noon to answer your questions! https://t.co/n47xwF7MqY More info here: https://t.co/7eDIkRPVkk

@ALA_ACRL, @ALALibrary, As I prep to talk to our board of trustees, I'm wondering how our professional orgs are preparing to defend and lobby for institutional access to core AI tools. Let's learn from the lesson of streaming media and textbooks and resist marginalization

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

So honored to support this team of curious, student centered librarians! @UDLibrary #acrl2023

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@Maeeesha great insights about what one may have to give up to engage in EDI at a deeper organizational level. I'm going to be much more intentional after this talk regarding what platform, power resources I may need to hand to someone else in my organization. #acrl2023

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@Maeeesha laying some big challenges down for anyone in libraries who cares about the people in it and those we serve. "To question something I have benefited from is hard"

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

I am hearing in #acrl2023 presentations that "administrators only care about quantitative data". Gosh, that's not been my experience. I'm sensing we need more space for project leads and administrators to discuss the what and why of data deliverables.

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

Despite so many useful conversations about boundaries, mental health & slow librarianship these past years... still seeing such a troubling celebration of overwork in several presentations #ACRL2023

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@UDLibrary is hiring! (1) foundational sciences librarian https://t.co/G0mU8zhhPI and (2) OER Publishing Librarian (3-year Resident Librarian position) https://t.co/iUIFRfeuFU DM me if you are at #acrl2023 and want to meet or learn more!

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

New video from the library teaching team! Do you use primary resources in your course? Do your students struggle to differentiate between primary and secondary resources? Then this is for YOU! https://t.co/klZeN8eSAh

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

I am so excited that @UDlibrary continues to invest in course material affordability initiatives with this exciting residency position. Great opportunity to work with a great team doing impactful work, y'all! https://t.co/EKQgI44emX

@IndieStacks I am a library administrator and I thank you for letting me know I am not alone. Whatever you are replaying in your head that wasn’t perfect enough, let it go. Not everyone can do what you do and imperfect is far better than unattempted.

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@lisalibrarian I’m wondering how the loss of the library’s physical assets would impact the total value of the university from a financial perspective . And that’s nothing to say of the immaterial value of physical items.

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

Our online chat services are available through our website. Librarians are standing by and can help with research questions although our physical building is closed!

[UD Library, Museums and Press @UDLibrary]

Morris Library is closed for the remainder of today, February 8, due to a safety-related incident being investigated by Environmental Health and Safety. Please avoid the area of The Green. We will update you when the building reopens.

Glad the original weird article was followed up... but why didn't they ask library deans? Are they surprised expertise of staff is worth investing in? If they had asked, they would have gotten better answers than "I'd be surprised" and "probably yes". https://t.co/swvhTDfXJL

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@MandyMathEd Oh no! Mandy, get well soon!

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

@Marc__Watkins @explain_paper @nomic_ai @scispace Thanks Marc! I've read up on explainpaper but Nomic AI and SciSpace are new to me. I'll check these out- SciSpace in particular seems like something that those of us who support undergraduate researchers will want to watch!

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

I've been following the AI research/writing tools discussion closely. I'm glad to see articles in IHE explicitly name librarians as partners in this discussion. https://t.co/m5lbx5S7I7

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

But I'm more worried that faculty will underutilize their librarian partners or continue to think of us as "folks that teach how to search" in a world where that need continues to shrink, and our skills are more needed than ever.

[Meg Grotti @MGGrotti]

Are we all a little queasy when disruptive technologies like this burst on the scene? Yup. Of course!
