I love reading my students' annotated bibliographies - esp when they explain how particular resources help them think differently about their own research projects. You can watch the light switch flip, observe the epiphany. And collectively, you can see the puzzle pieces start to assemble 😊

I am delighted to share a call for chapter proposals for an forthcoming ACRL volume, "Open Movements: Recognizing Challenges and Building connections." For additional information about this project, please see the full call for chapter proposals in Google Docs: bit.ly/3RTnp7P.
