Good morning: I wonder if there is an article about the Alliance or about/by the work of our librarians from one or more of the designated HBCU’s that could be voted for inclusion in this landmark edition of College & Research Libraries. We will take a look and I hope others will too. Have a good day! Loretta Parham CEO & Director Atlanta University Center Woodruff Library 111 James P.

Voting<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/crl75> for the crowdsourced issue is now open and will close at the end of April 2014. “College & Research Libraries has been the leading venue for scholarly study and thoughtful discussions of issues of critical importance to academic and research libraries for the better part of a century,” said C&RL editor-in-chief Scott Walter of DePaul University. “The 75th anniversary of the journal and the association provides us with a rare opportunity to consider the importance of scholarship to our data-informed profession, and to reflect upon the inspiration and guidance that generations of leading researchers and scholarly practitioners have given to each of us in our work.” A list of 30 finalists identified by the editorial board and a group of past C&RL editors, along with a voting link<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/crl75>, is now available on the ACRL website<http://www.ala.org/acrl/publications/crl75>. The editorial board will also include one “people’s choice” article in the 75th anniversary special issue. Once the articles selected for inclusion in the C&RL 75th anniversary issue have been identified, the editorial board will solicit authors for companion essays aimed at illuminating the contemporary, and ongoing, significance of these works. These companion essays will be published alongside the original articles in this special issue of the journal. Voting is now open and will close on April 30, 2014. Complete details are available on the ACRL website<http://www.ala.org/acrl/publications/crl75>.

What are you reading right now (or listening to on your mobile device)? Honestly? My Facebook feed (Kidding! Sort of). On my nightstand is The True History of the Kelly Gang<http://www.nytimes.com/books/01/01/07/reviews/010107.07quinnt.html>, Man Booker Prize winner, because I like to slowly read complex, thought-provoking fiction. Really slowly. Like a turtle. But Bookers are nearly always amazing reads in the end. 3. Describe ACRL in three words: People! People! People! 4. Why do you value about ACRL? Meeting. Learning. Growing. Giving. The opportunity to contribute to the field, meet and learn from others, and expand my vision of what academic libraries are — and what they should be. 5. What do you, as an academic librarian, contribute to your campus? I help people make their lives better. As a community college librarian, I support students from all backgrounds as they take their first steps into higher education. I teach them about research, give them pep talks at the info desk, and congratulate them when they move on to a profession, four-year degree program, or other adventure. I love to watch them amaze themselves with their own accomplishments. 6. In your own words: I have the best job ever! I get to learn and teach and grow every day. Best of all, I love being part of a profession that is constantly in the process of discovering itself. We have the opportunity every day to reinvent our work: what could be cooler than that?
