Ya just saying no is probably easiest but I definitely find it hard as junior person as well. I would say the other big skill is assessing feasibility. Like there's lots of initiatives that go no where, so if you can sniff that out early on and not invest that's a huge time saver

Ya it seems weird timing. Especially after investing so much money.
Will be curious to see if there's a shift to just doing agreements with scholars who pretty much just want the data and don't need a TDM platform 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Needed this thread so much this morning—and honestly, every day during this semester from hell—so thank you, friend 🥹🙏🏽!!
Here’s my contribution: BTS of this year’s Halloween costume try-ons. Not pictured: the copious amount of treats that made this possible 😅

The brick with the curtains is truly unhinged tho. Truly strong I'm one of you fellow humans vibes across the board though, so 10/10, no notes 👌🏽

Also somewhat relatedly and absolutely no pressure but @drtlwagner.bsky.social, Emily Maemura, and I are starting a project exploring the experiences of data librarians so if you would be willing to chat with us that would be amazing! Just lmk & again no pressure 😊

That's awesome and great to virtually meet an alum!! We're currently trying to expand our data courses specifically for the MSLIS & atm I'm developing a Collections As Data syllabus so hoping to have more future data librarians 🥳!! But definitely open to suggestions if you have them 👍🏽

Not a data librarian but currently teach MSLIS students how to become one so first thanks for creating this and if I'm not too far afield would love to be added. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the tag @mmvty.bsky.social but unfortunately not really my area of expertise 😅. Sounds like a great project though @tgpeterson.bsky.social, so excited to learn what you find 😊
