@chethartin Happy birthday! Sorry you're too old to stay out past 10:00 p.m.

[Kimberly Vardeman @KimberLibrarian]

💖We in #LibUX are asking our students to write a love letter to the @texastechlib in exchange for Valentine’s candy. We’re in the Croslin Room tomorrow and Monday or you can send a letter online at https://t.co/h6Wk7Aw8l5 💜

@SBakanibona Happy birthday and many more!

Impostor syndrome is a paradox:
-Others believe in you
-You don't believe in yourself
-Yet you believe yourself instead of them

If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself?

When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them.

@chethartin Gracias, Chet!

This is for anyone experiencing impostor syndrome:

Incentive idea for #LibUX participants — t-shirts! Designed by talented Naomi Sweet @TexasTechLib. Used simple form to get shirt color preference, size. Set shirts out for pickup at the service desk or asked interlibrary loan to mail them. Cost <$10 b4 mailing. @Design4Lib #d4d21

[Kimberly Vardeman @KimberLibrarian]

@BlakistonR Of course, I found the t-shirt *after* the chat. 😆

Helpful to have non-gift card incentives available when campus policies prohibit using them — or make it such a hassle that you don't want to
