This workshop will connect library folks working on a scholarship or writing project to MiALA’s most valuable resource - its members! If you are working on (or thinking about working on) a scholarly or written work, this workshop is for you. You will get a chance to bounce ideas off of other library folks, connect with your potential audience, leverage the experience of the group, and meet people who share your interests.

Learning Objective(s): 1) Develop and share ideas for scholarship or writing projects with MiALA community members; and 2) Reflect on your writing experiences and create a plan to move forward.

I am an information literacy librarian at Michigan State University. I primarily work with first year composition courses and make instructional videos.

When I am not being a librarian, I like to sew, quilt, and take ballet classes.
