Pronouns
(He/They)To acknowledge that assumptions about someone’s gender identity could be incorrect, many organizations, including NC State, have begun to encourage community members to include a brief statement of their gender pronouns as they introduce themselves within a group.
Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
During our implementation for new software for TRLN Direct, Adam was extremely helpful in helping test the features, bugs, and workflows for our new software. Adam tracked issues on spreadsheets, brought issues and ideas to meetings, and helped create documentation. I really appreciate all of the detailed work they did to help move the project forward.

Working in resource sharing lending, Adam sees a lot of problems with our electronic resources. When a link breaks or coverage dates for an ejournal are wrong, Adam thoroughly documents and reports these problems for us each time. This information is so helpful because it not only alerts us to problems with a single ejournal, but also sometimes problems with an entire platform. This kind of reporting takes time that I am sure Adam could use to do other work, so the fact that each of these problems gets reported demonstrates a commitment not only to serving our users but also helping out colleagues who may not receive this information any other way. Thanks Adam for being a great collaborator with each and every broken link!
