As a process geek with a less-than-stellar memory, I couldn't agree more with the value of checklists - and @Atul_Gawande's Checklist Manifesto, @marcyphelps. Also work great when preparing for job interviews.... #LISCareers

.@kimdority Everything I know about using my info skills in non-traditional ways, I learned from you! Your class at DU & your book made a huge impact on my career! https://t.co/M9a85zCDD5

When something's so funny that all 4 generations are laughing about it at Thanksgiving, you know it's good... Thank you, @BuzzFeed and @JMPoff for this! https://t.co/aGPsh9e3pK

[Kim Dority @kimdority]

Great way to build LIS skills into an in-demand, highly rewarding career path, Marcy Phelps, CFE. And it really ups the cool factor for the rest of us when we can say our friend is a PI! #careerresilience #infopros #lovemyjob #LISCareerOptions https://t.co/cKy44UyYiy
