[Wactclc-alma] some personal news

[Jennifer Rohan]

Dear Ryer,
Thank you for your collegiality and all your creative ideas you have shared with our group to help make Alma/Primo work go more smoothly!  SPSCC is lucky to have you!
I wish I had better insight in how to balance library tech responsibilities with all other parts of librarianship, but I struggle with that, too, and am often very off-balance.  Maybe a circus juggling course should be part of the MLIS curriculum…? 😊

Hi everyone,

I'm very excited to finally be able to let you all know that, starting this fall, I am moving over to South Puget Sound Community College to be the Open Education Librarian there. I'm over the moon to join the library at SPSCC and to focus on contributing to student success through open education. I've been living in Olympia since starting at Centralia College and I'm really excited to directly serve my community. I'm also really looking forward to connecting with all of the wonderful open education leads and enthusiasts at your colleges.

This move will mean that I will be less involved in our Alma and Primo meetings and work. So, I want to take a moment to tell you all how appreciative I am of our community and all of the wonderful support, advice, and colleagueship that you all have offered so freely. I have learned so much from you all and certainly would not have been able to keep our systems running as smoothly without this community. I will miss this community so much, but I'll be okay saying goodbye to Alma headaches.

At Centralia, this transition has us thinking hard about how to set up my successor's position so that they can be as successful as possible. I would love to hear your thoughts on what helps and hinders your work, how you balance library technology responsibilities with other parts of librarianship like instruction, and any other thoughts you have on the issues related to wearing multiple hats and finding balance and support for holding various roles and responsibilities.


Thank you all and see you around in WA CTC Library Land.
