I have participated division meetings including all bi-weekly Library/ Learning common department meetings and all ASLT division meetings. I also participated in International Poetry Day, a platform for faculty and students to interact with different cultures through poetry.

2. Describe or list ways you have participated in College and/or District activities.

As the Digital Services Librarian, I represent Skyline College in the district's EZProxy migration and ensure that database access is up to date. I also participate in SMCCD's Library Workgroup in collaboration with sister colleges CSM and Canada College.

3. Describe or list how you have engaged in professional development related to discipline expertise and/or teaching techniques.

In terms of professional development related to digital experience, I participated in the California College Libraries AI Literacy Workshop. I also attended all Flexday Trainings and the New Faculty Academy Workshop to develop my teaching techniques. 

4. Identify any publications, presentations, and/or job-related community activities in which you have been engaged.

I consulted the Social Science and Creative Arts (SCCA) department to restructure their music library to better fit the needs of the community.

5. Describe or list ways you have participated in the development and assessment of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). SLO assessment may include but is not limited to faculty-faculty dialogue, working in professional organizations or groups, working with an institutional researcher, curriculum mapping as part of a retreat, reviewing curriculum for external organizations, addressing student equity questions, using student input through surveys, exams, exam analysis, and registering changes as a consequence.

In addition to providing general library services and reference instruction, I maintain a regular dialogue with faculty who request library instruction. When requested, I meet with the instructor to review their objectives, particularly with regard to information science. I then follow up with the instructor to assess the outcome and determine if there are any additional needs such as a follow-up session. 

6. Identify any awards, honors, and/or external evaluations you have received.

I have received much positive verbal and written feedback from faculty for my library instruction. I have also received one reference evaluation that has met or exceeded a student’s expectations.
