The Things We Left Behind panel: "Find your people." Agreed, don't be discouraged if you don't connect with folks within your own unit. Particulary if you work at a big org, you can find other likeminded souls. At a university, the humanities are good place to look! #RBMS22

Plenary by Tamar Evangelestia-Dougherty was FIRE. Biggest takeaways: 1) Salaries for entry-level archivists sadly stagnated in comparison to rising living costs. 2) Convince donors to fund endowed positions if it's not in the "budget line." Fight for the next gen! #RBMS22

@catladylib Conference tweets. So many gold nuggets of knowledge from people tweeting from their sessions they attend. And the shoutout and support if you chaired said session. 😭

@fatdadscotty I literally think every day about how much I could be updating my processing/operations manual, only to be thwarted by the onslaught of more active, urgent matters. 😭

[Annie Tang @tanganniew]

Coming out of my Twitter hibernation to say that I'm honored to be one of these peeps, and am pinching myself that this is still true. 😊 https://t.co/pFlUmc1RFV

@LaceyWilson4 @ReadingRenae Ayyyy, thanks for the kudos. 🥰

@rachel_seale @vincy4fish98 @BWtheArchivist @archivalflpnx @archivists_org Crowdsourcing events (when it's COVID-safe of course). I once attended a Chinese historical society event where former Chinatown locals were asked to help identify people in old photos. Loved it!

#ArchivesRepositoryTours spotlight, ctd: Love Old West history? Well the Utah State Archives has a case file on Butch Cassidy, who was in jail in Carbon County in 1897 for rustling cattle (changing brands illegally).

@BudgetBritain I had JUST finished my in-person MLIS and several internships the year before, and I was just in shock that something like that could happen in academia. 7 years later, I believe it. 😂

#ArchivesRepositoryTours spotlight: Did you know that John Denver sang with The Muppets?! I didn't either! Learned it in the virtual tour created by Great American Songbook Foundation (@SongbookFdn). https://t.co/hDINM70IvB

@BudgetBritain @GeekyGeekyWays I once worked at a library where one of the university finance managers was made an associate university librarian (a step below library director) with NO Librarian background. We were assured he was getting his online MLIS asap though. 🙄

[Annie Tang @tanganniew]

@warmaiden @schomj Oh goodness, the trifecta!

[Annie Tang @tanganniew]

@schomj These 2-for-1 jobs are so common in libraries, I don't know which libraries don't have at least one.

@ArchiviProchilo I've slowed down recently because, well, the shelves are running out of space.... Which doesn't stop me from getting SW pins to add to my backpack LOL.
