The Growing Good of the World is Partly Dependent on Unhistoric Acts

Odin has new thoughts for you, and a new research article to share!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being part of the release party for the San Jose State’s Student Research Journal 26th issue. I’ve been working with the SRJ since last year as the editor-in-chief, and I couldn’t be more proud of my team. They’ve done a phenomenal job, and, as the only student-led, double-blind peer-reviewed and open access journal dedicated to library and information science, that work is key to the field.

You can read my editorial, Innovation and Responsibility: Librarians in an Era of Generative AI, Inequality, and Information Overload here, and the link to the whole issue is right here. Our authors for this issue were fantastic, both throughout the publication process, and during the wonderful panel event that they attended this evening.

As some of you know, I enjoy the scholarly side of things. I got my taste for it during undergrad, but it was really my MFA at Stonecoast that instilled in me the skills to tackle academic work. Working with the likes of Theodora Goss, Tobias Buckell, and Robert V.S. Redick gave me such a boost for getting my own work into the world. Now, as EIC of the SRJ, I’m getting to do that for others. It’s a great feeling.
