Before joining ACRL, I was trying to maneuver through the world of librarianship on my own without even realizing it. After attending several ACRL sessions at Annual Conference, I felt as though I had finally “found my people”! I love connecting with college and university librarians from all over the globe and sharing ideas. These connections make me a more effective instructor, librarian, and leader on campus.” ~ Susan Mythen, Florida State College at Jacksonville
