SUMMARY:ACRL DVC Fall 2025 Event: Empowering Library Student Workers
DESCRIPTION:View the recording of this event below! (For timestamps of each presentation\, please click “Watch on YouTube” and view the video description.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Delaware Valley Chapter of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL DVC) is pleased to announce our fall event\, Empowering Library Student Workers\, which will be held online on Wednesday\, November 5 from 9 AM to 1 PM EST. \n\n\n\nFounded in 1951\, ACRL DVC is the oldest local ACRL chapter and serves library and information professionals in college\, university\, and research organizations in eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware. \n\n\n\nThis event will be free and open to all\, including attendees outside of our region. A full schedule of the event is outlined below.  \n\n\n\n9:00 AM\n\n\n\nWelcome and logistics \n\n\n\n9:10 AM\n\n\n\nAutonomy\, Competence\, Relatedness: A Framework of Practical Strategies for Meaningful Student Work (slides) \n\n\n\nMatthew Weirick Johnson\, University of South Florida Libraries\, Director of Research & Instruction \n\n\n\nJennifer Slagus\, West Chester University Libraries\, Assistant Professor and Social Sciences Librarian \n\n\n\nDaniel Neil\, University of South Florida\, undergraduate student and Library Research Assistant \n\n\n\nStudent workers play a vital role in academic library operations\, and their work experiences shape both personal growth and the library’s effectiveness. This presentation applies self-determination theory to explore how routine tasks can be transformed into meaningful opportunities that foster students’ autonomy\, competence\, and relatedness. An undergraduate employee will share his experience engaging with meaningful project-based work\, regular shifts on a research help desk and online chat service\, and mentorship by supervisors and peers. Together\, we will offer practical recommendations for managers overseeing student worker programs. \n\n\n\n9:25 AM\n\n\n\nAll around the Library: Connecting Student Employment to LIS Career Exploration \n\n\n\nLaura Surtees\, Bryn Mawr College\, Manager of Library Experience and Engagement \n\n\n\nJadyn Patrick\, Bryn Mawr College\, Library Summer Resident and undergraduate \n\n\n\nHayden Fahey\, Bryn Mawr College\, Library Summer Resident and undergraduate \n\n\n\nSunny Lucal\, Bryn Mawr College\, Library Summer Resident and alum ’25 \n\n\n\nJess Smith\, Bryn Mawr College\, Library Summer Resident and alum ’25 \n\n\n\nAcademic libraries offer a unique opportunity to introduce students to Library and Information Science (LIS) careers through meaningful employment. Yet\, many student workers remain siloed in distinct roles\, unaware of LIS pathways. This presentation highlights the Library Summer Resident Program\, a 10-week initiative connecting student employment with career exploration. Through departmental rotations\, hands-on training\, and mentorship\, students gain insight into the collaborative nature of library work. Former residents will share how the program deepened their LIS understanding and expanded career horizons. Through intentional design\, student employment fosters skill-building\, experiential learning\, and professional growth while illuminating LIS career possibilities. \n\n\n\n9:45 AM\n\n\n\nBuilding a Sustainable and Worthwhile Student Worker Experience: From Silos to Leadership Development \n\n\n\nKris Beutler\, Moravian University\, User Experience and Assessment Librarian \n\n\n\nLiliana Brockway\, Moravian University\, Graduate Intern \n\n\n\nThis presentation examines transforming a fragmented student worker program into an integrated system supervising 60+ students across multiple disciplines. By consolidating management and implementing comprehensive cross-training\, operational challenges like coverage gaps and scheduling inflexibility were resolved while creating meaningful professional development opportunities. Program innovations include expanded internships for students from diverse academic backgrounds and student worker lead positions offering advancement pathways and increased compensation. Co-presenters will share administrative and student perspectives on implementation strategies\, career impact\, and practical guidance for adapting these approaches to different institutional contexts. \n\n\n\n10:10 AM\n\n\n\nLeveraging Student Talent for Library Marketing & Outreach (slides) \n\n\n\nCatherine Paolillo\, University of San Diego\, Head of Access & Outreach Services Librarian \n\n\n\nUnlock a new approach to library marketing by leveraging your student employees’ existing talents\, skills\, and interests! This presentation will showcase four successful projects where student assistants led marketing and outreach initiatives. We will demonstrate the value of centering their unique voices and skills\, which allows for more authentic\, peer-to-peer outreach. Attendees will gain actionable strategies and inspiring examples for building campaigns that resonate with students and create a more dynamic connection between the library and its users. \n\n\n\n10:40 AM\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n10:45 AM\n\n\n\nCentering Student Labor in Digital Scholarship at a Small Liberal Arts College \n\n\n\nAnna Lacy\, Haverford College\, Digital Scholarship Librarian \n\n\n\nBrandon Morales\, Haverford College\, Digital Scholarship Assistant \n\n\n\nDigital Scholarship (DS) at Haverford College centers student workers as the foundation of its digital humanities ecosystem. Through paid assistantships\, internships\, and fellowships\, undergraduate researchers contribute to technical development\, metadata creation\, UX testing\, and documentation while gaining mentorship\, project management\, and hands-on experience. Structured work plans make invisible labor visible\, and offboarding procedures ensure continuity as students complete internships\, move between projects\, or graduate. This presentation will share strategies and documentation for sustaining a student-centered digital scholarship program at a small liberal arts college\, highlighting mentorship\, equitable practices\, and the crucial role of student labor. \n\n\n\n11:00 AM\n\n\n\nStudent Jobs as Entry Points to LIS Careers \n\n\n\nZara Strauss\, University of Delaware\, Processing Assistant \n\n\n\nMy presentation shows how undergraduate jobs in university libraries can help students develop important foundational skills for a future career in LIS. As a history major\, I was drawn in by the prospect of physical and digital processing items with a range of historical significance\, but once employed I realized that LIS jobs demanded an array of skills. Having worked in three different departments\, my eyes were opened to a career working in libraries and archives. With supportive supervisors and exposure to different tasks I developed practical skills that prepared me for what I am now learning as a graduate student doing my masters. \n\n\n\n11:15 AM\n\n\n\nStudent Engagement in Library Projects as a Pathway to the Profession (slides) \n\n\n\nKerry Walton\, West Chester University\, Associate Dean \n\n\n\nMira Benson\, West Chester University\, student \n\n\n\nCathleen Dunn\, West Chester University\, Cataloging Technician \n\n\n\nWes Miriello\, West Chester University\, Circulation and Stacks Technician \n\n\n\nLeigh Dawson\, West Chester University\, Student Employee Program Coordinator \n\n\n\nThis presentation will highlight the journey of an undergraduate student\, Mira Benson\, at West Chester University Libraries. Mira’s involvement in a library-wide reclassification project demonstrates the transformative potential of student engagement in library initiatives. Mira plays a pivotal role in the project\, and has quickly taken on leadership responsibilities\, developed technical and organizational skills\, and contributed meaningfully to library operations. The project not only spurred her interest in pursuing a library science degree but also connected her with mentorship that shaped her professional goals. Attendees will gain insight into supporting student growth through impactful projects and roles. \n\n\n\n11:45 AM\n\n\n\nRaise the Bar – They Can Reach It! Students in Library Leadership (slides and other documents) \n\n\n\nClaire Drolet\, Delaware Valley University\, Access Services Librarian \n\n\n\nOver the last several years\, the Krauskopf Memorial Library at Delaware Valley University has been developing a student employment program that goes well beyond the basic check in / check out and shelving tasks. Using student feedback\, focus groups\, and the NACE core competencies\, our students are now learning information literacy\, curation\, marketing\, customer service\, supervisory\, and teamwork skills. This serves the library well\, but more importantly\, it makes the students’ jobs more challenging\, professionally beneficial\, and satisfying. Custom tasks are created and given to students to help them pursue things they are passionate about\, and supervisory responsibilities and training are given to those who want to step up and learn to lead their peers. We are raising the bar – because we know they can reach it! \n\n\n\n12:15 PM\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n12:25 PM\n\n\n\nBeyond the Desk: Engaging Student Talent to Unlock Cross-Unit Collaboration \n\n\n\nRebekah Smith\, American University Library\, Library Access Outreach Coordinator \n\n\n\nAlexis Boyages\, American University Library\, Library Accessibility Coordinator \n\n\n\nSydney Evitts\, American University Library\, Circulation Services Operations Coordinator \n\n\n\nLaura Xayasaeng\, American University Library\, Library Systems Coordinator \n\n\n\nSophie Bergey\, American University Library\, Circulation & Reserves Lead (III) Student Assistant \n\n\n\nStella del Carmen\, American University Library\, Circulation & Reserves (I) Student Assistant \n\n\n\nThis case study provides an overview of a Spring 2025 pilot program at the American University Library that matched select Circulation student staff with project-based opportunities across multiple library departments. This initiative created meaningful experiential learning and career-readiness opportunities for students while advancing the library’s operational goals in innovative ways. Hear from full-time and student staff participants as they share their reasons for creating the initiative\, the logistical and operational challenges encountered\, the outcomes achieved\, and the key lessons learned along the way. \n\n\n\n12:50 PM\n\n\n\nConcluding remarks

SUMMARY:Wellness and Our Work 
DESCRIPTION:Wellness\, including mental\, physical\, social\, financial\, environmental\, and vocational\, can be challenging to achieve. Ettarh’s (2018) description of vocational awe is a warning to the modern library worker not to conflate the importance of one’s profession and the joy of work with overall wellness and meaning in one’s life. Librarians often overstate the importance of their vocation\, describing it as a calling “because the sacred duties of freedom\, information\, and service are so momentous.” Which leads us to ask – How does our work in libraries impact our wellness? How can we center wellness in our interactions with colleagues? Patrons? Local communities? How do library spaces contribute to wellness? \n\n\n\nFor this year’s Spring Program\, DVC welcomes submissions on any area related to wellness\, but encourages you to consider our 2022-2023 guiding questions: \n\n\n\n\nHow do you find meaning in your role/work? How do you disengage in extraneous work that you don’t find meaningful?\n\n\n\nHow do you feel about the idea of “quiet quitting?” Does periodic reassessment of how much time that you devote to work versus other important factors in your life (e.g. family\, health\, etc.) automatically constitute abdicating your job responsibilities?\n\n\n\n\nReflect on the ways that your work intersects with your well-being (or doesn’t). We welcome public reflection in the form of stories\, presentations\, panel discussions\, lightning rounds\, prompts for play and inspiration\, or facilitated community conversations. \n\n\n\n9:00 AM          Registration and Library Tours \n\n\n\n9:30 AM          WelcomeNick Cunningham\, ACRL DVC Vice PresidentJoe Lucia\, Dean of Libraries at Temple University \n\n\n\n9:45 AM          Lightening Round: Library StaffingHow Vocational Awe Taught Us to Prioritize; Heather Dalal\, Instruction & Emerging Technologies; Dr. Sharon Whitfield\, Electronic & User Access Librarian; Marissa Stinson\, Instructor-Librarian; Melissa Hofmann\, Bibliographic Control Librarian at Rider University \n\n\n\nManaging Oneself in the Face of Downsizing: Strategies for Empowering Academic Librarians; Russell Michalak\, Library Director at Goldey-Beacom College \n\n\n\n(Re)Write Your Job Description; Tina Hertel\, Director at Muhlenberg College \n\n\n\n10:45 AM        Break and Tours \n\n\n\n11:30 AM        Lightening Round: Library Space and ServicesPlay and Belonging through Making; Hannah Tardie\, Makerspace Manager at Temple University \n\n\n\nWellness Benefits of Community Services in an Academic Library Environment; Justin Hill\, Head of Access Services; Emily Schiller\, Circulation Supervisor; John Oram\, Stacks Supervisor at Temple University \n\n\n\nStudent Use of Academic Libraries to Cope with Stress; Brendan Johnson\, Outreach and Engagement Librarian at Penn State Abington \n\n\n\nImpact of Green Roof on Student Study Space Preferences: Does Biophilic Design Matter?; Steven Bell\, Associate University Librarian at Temple University \n\n\n\n12:30 PM        LunchBYO/Food Trucks \n\n\n\n1:15 PM          Keynote PresentationJames Templeton\, Assistant Vice President and University Architect at Temple UniversityJohn Cearley\, Associate at The S/L/A/M Collaborative \n\n\n\n2:15 PM          Roundtable Discussions \n\n\n\n3:30 PM          Closing and Final Opportunity for Tours

SUMMARY:"The Essential Work: Centering Our Values\, Health\, and Humanity" - Part II: Keynote by Nisha Mody
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis virtual keynote address\, from Feminist Healing Coach\, Writer\, and Library Advocate. Nisha Mody\, will be on how we can become more trauma-informed in libraries by shifting toward a relational approach rather than a transactional one. She will address the questions: What forces subconsciously take us away from being relational? How can we be more relational leaders and colleagues as well as with patrons and ourselves? How does being relational reframe urgency along with other characteristics of white supremacy culture?  \n\n\n\nThis event is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors:  \n\n\n\nCollege and Research Division of the Pennsylvania Library Association https://crdpala.org/ This project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education through the Office of Commonwealth Libraries\, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania\, Tom Wolf\, Governor.

SUMMARY:The Essential Work: Centering Our Values\, Health\, and Humanity - Part I: Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Delaware Valley Chapter of ACRL invites you to participate in our Spring 2022 Programs\, collectively titled The Essential Work: Centering Our Values\, Health\, and Humanity. This program and our guiding questions were inspired by the ongoing uncertainty around and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past 22 months we have been asked to reinvent our work\, (re)define what is “essential\,” and negotiate the tension between our values and our responsibilities. This spring we invite you to join us as we explore our guiding questions: \n\n\n\nHow has the pandemic changed our understanding of the value of our work and which workers are most “essential” to our organizations? How has the culture of our workplaces and our profession supported or undermined our health and wellbeing?How can we negotiate the conflict between our personal values and our practical responsibilities?\n\n\n\nShared learning is a fundamental part of our mission\, and we have so much to learn from one another as we reflect on the past two years.  To support that continued learning\, this first event in our series will feature “sparkler talk” (15min) presentations from a selection of our community members on topics relevant to our guiding questions. Following the presentations\, there will be a short panel discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\n“Retooling Technical Services: Life After the Great Resignation” Melissa Brooks\, Head of Technical Services and Associate Professor at the University of Southern Mississippi “Treating Illness with Trust: How COVID-19  Changed Attitudes Toward Illness at Trexler Library”Sarah Pelczynski-Kunda\, Public Services Assistant at Muhlenberg College Trexler Library  “Are Librarians Essential Workers?” Allyson Wind\, Electronic Resources Librarian\, East Stroudsburg University\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors:  \n\n\n\nCollege and Research Division of the Pennsylvania Library Association https://crdpala.org/ This project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education through the Office of Commonwealth Libraries\, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania\, Tom Wolf\, Governor.

SUMMARY:Working Out Loud: Reflections\, Revisions\, & Recipes
DESCRIPTION:Due to the rapidly developing COVID-19 situation\, we have decided to postpone the 2020 DVC Spring Program until Fall 2020. We will post the date once it is set. There has been a lot of positive buzz about the Temple program and we look forward to seeing you all there in the fall.   \nExisting registrations will be refunded. \n  \nPlease join us on April 3rd at Temple University’s brand new Charles Library  for an interesting day of presentations\, discussions\, and networking.  You can REGISTER here or below. The day will focus on the benefits of learning how to “fail forward” and will be kicked off by Eamon Tewell of Columbia University Libraries as our keynote speaker.  We will explore the challenges\, compromises\, revisions\, and breakthroughs that have been experienced by our colleagues in many different areas of librarianship and consider the advantages of integrating more opportunities to take risks into our own library communities.  We believe that to innovate we need to practice a growth mindset where we feel free to take risks\, experiment\, and be creative. \nDue to early interest in the program\, we advise registering promptly to secure your space.

SUMMARY:Beyond Diversity Speak: Practicing Cultural Humility in your Library
DESCRIPTION:This year’s program will be focused on incorporating cultural humility into equity\, diversity\, and inclusion professional development in academic libraries. \nSara Ahmed (2012) describes diversity initiatives as frequently being “happy talk” that institutions write into their strategic plans and mission statements to manage their image but then do not integrate into everyday practice. While some libraries make a concerted effort to provide diversity or cultural competency training opportunities\, often the attention is superficial and/or uninformed. Nicole Cooke (2016) stresses the importance of cultural humility in serving diverse populations. \nCultural humility is a cousin to cultural competency\, but while cultural competency means learning about other cultures\, cultural humility means continuously working to uncover how we and the institutions in which we engage are complicit in underserving some and overserving others and making ourselves accountable for rectifying the disparity. To do this\, librarians and libraries need tools to help them reflect on themselves and their institutions\, facilitate difficult discussions\, and imagine new possibilities. \nIn the afternoon\, Theatre of the Oppressed in NYC (TONYC) will run a workshop devoted to reflecting on some of the ways that systems of power structure how we and our institutions do our work.*  Their methodology is based on techniques developed by the legendary Brazilian theatre director and activist Augusto Boal\, who based his work on Paolo Freire\, who many of us are already familiar with. The workshop promises to be fun\, enlightening\, and practical and we are very excited to be able to offer it. \n* Due to extenuating circumstances\, Lorin Jackson will no longer be able to run the afternoon workshop. We are disappointed that she won’t be able to share her expertise\, but hopefully\, we will be able to work with her in the future. \nSchedule \n9:00-9:30 Registration \n9:30-9:45 Welcome \n9:45-10:15 Building Toward Social Justice Practice\nPresented by Maisha Carey & Dr. Adam Foley from the University of Delaware \n10:15-10:30 Community Reading Group: An Exploration in Cultural Humility\nPresented by Molly Wolf from Widener University \n10:30-10:45 Break \n10:45-12:00 Special Collections Panel:\nElephant Bites: Scoping out a Special Collection Through the DEI Lens\nPresented by Gary Galván from The Free Library of Philadelphia \nMinding the Gaps: Using the silences in College and LGBT Community Archival Collections\nPresented by Susan Falciani Maldonado & Kristen Leipert from Muhlenberg College \nCripples\, Prostitutes\, and Quacks: Practicing Cultural Humility in Historical Collections\nPresented by Caitlin Angelone from The College of Physicians Historical Medical Library \n12:00-1:00 Lunch \n1:00-1:15 Chapter Meeting \n1:15 – 3:15 Spect-Actor Workshop: Moving Practice into Action\nPresented by Theatre of the Oppressed NYC \n3:15 – 3:30 Wrap-up \n In correlation with this event\, the organization is seeking to support the library studies of an individual that is focused on helping to create a more equitable society. A $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in an ALA-accredited program to help offset the cost of educational expenses.  To apply\, please submit your resume and a 250-500 word essay describing your interest in cultural humility in librarianship. Eligible applicants must reside in\, work\, or attend school in the chapter’s service area.

SUMMARY:Building the Future
DESCRIPTION:Shifting from the old-fashioned repository to a user-centric\, “third place” community center\, libraries are developing as both place and space. Meeting and reflecting the changing needs of today’s students\, faculty and staff is a constant challenge. Developing a building framework that anticipates\, to the degree possible\, future needs is also a priority. For some libraries that has meant large-scale renovations or new buildings; for other libraries it has led to rethinking services to provide opportunities for creative and adaptive reconfiguration of spaces. Join us for presentations and conversations about space planning in our libraries.\n\n \nWe would also like to showcase photos of the renovations of attendees’ libraries in a slideshow. Please e-mail your photos to Cathy Ogur at cogur@wharton.upenn.edu with a brief description of your project.\n\nProgram \n9:30-10am: Registration & continental breakfast \n10-10:10: Welcome \n10:10 – 10:40: Elizabeth Evans\, Point Park University\nDon’t Touch the Marble!

SUMMARY:Doing Digital Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Recent changes in digital technology have radically transformed the landscape of communication and information. Scholars\, researchers\, professors and students examine and interrogate the world around them through research within or across disciplines\, draw on a variety of texts – often multimodal ones – and use the methods of their discipline to create new knowledge.\nJust as the Internet and social networking have transformed communication in our everyday lives\, so are they are beginning to expand and transform disciplinary and cross-disciplinary methods of research and scholarship. Large data sets\, mapping\, data visualization\, encoding\, analysis\, and recontextualizion online are all emerging scholarly trends. In addition to addressing new questions or new methods\, products of digital scholarship often include new pathways for access\, and engage new audiences. \nPlease join us at University of Pennsylvania’s state of the art Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books\, and Manuscripts–a vibrant space designed to bring together people\, technology\, and unique content. Learn about current work in digital scholarship and participate in activities and discussions that will advance your understanding. \nProgram: \n9:00 – 9:45 Registration and refreshments \n9:45 Welcome \n10:00 – 10:45 Keynote: Dot Porter\, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS)\, University of Pennsylvania: \n\n“Libraries Supporting Digital Scholarship: Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies as an Object Lesson?”\n\n10:45-11:00 Break \n11:00 – 12:30 Digital Scholarship Panel \n\nLaurie Allen\, Coordinator of Digital Scholarship and Research Services\, Haverford College\nMonica Mercado\, Director of The Albert M.

SUMMARY:Marketing yourself ... Mentoring others
DESCRIPTION:Five Ways We Hurt Our Careers — And How To Stop \nThe days of outright workplace discrimination have given way to more enlightened times\, helped along by Equal Opportunity and a few lawsuits. Still\, the workplace is far from a pure meritocracy. It’s not just what you know\, it’s the position you create; it’s the paths you open up. Each of us is a brand in competition with other brands. Studies and experience show that the barriers to advancing your brand are often self-constructed. It might be a lack of confidence to demand what you’re worth. It might be a reluctance to push for the higher-risk – and more visible – assignments. It might be someone in a senior position that sees rising talent not as assets\, but threats. It might be a reluctance to find or become a mentor. Dr. Peggy Drexler draws on her career researching genders and families\, and her extensive studies of people and work to look at the roadblocks we create for ourselves\, and how to knock them down. \nThanks to the generosity of Drexel University\, this event is free. But\, registration is limited. The deadline for registering is November 8th.\n\n\nFive Ways We Hurt Our Careers – And How To Stop\nPeggy Drexler\, Weill Medical College\, Cornell University \nPurposeful Networking\nTina Hertel\, Trexler Library\, Muhlenberg College \nA Look Inside Swarthmore’s Mentoring Program\nPeggy Seiden\, Swarthmore College Libraries \nUnconference! Breakout sessions on resumes\, ACRL/DVC mentoring\, promotion/tenure.
