I think it’s so important to have more mental health campaigns on college campuses, especially considering all of the added stress students are currently experiencing because of COVID-19. It’s alarming to read that 63% of US college students experienced overwhelming anxiety in 2018 — I can’t imagine what that percentage might look like during this crisis.

Comment on Reflection: Infinite Learning: Learning Everywhere by Kathleen Erickson https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/04/20/reflection-infinite-learning-learning-everywhere/#comment-16 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 16:46:52 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=142#comment-16 Your examples of studio spaces in libraries is inspiring. I wish my library had a space where I could go and mess around with materials (I am not an artist or creative that way) and not have to have a plan in mind ahead of time.

I have used the Scan and Go app at Sam’s Club up here in Michigan and loved it. Sadly, Costco does not have that service yet. What a way to free up service desk folks’ time to do other things!

Comment on Emerging Technology Planning – Mental Health is Health Campaign by Desiree J https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/03/11/emerging-technology-planning-mental-health-is-health-campaign/#comment-13 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 23:23:11 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=93#comment-13 In reply to Philip McGough.

Hey, having an event with the local pet shelter is an amazing idea. As of right now, our campus does a furry friend day during finals for students to interact with emotional support animals to help relieve stress but I think that would be a great addition to library services related to this campaign.

I am really impressed with your ideas here. I particularly like the Inspiration Station and The Library Loves You events. These seem like very good ways to connect with students without requiring a lot of funding or staff time. Having staff and students donate items to the Inspiration Station is a great idea. It would be nice if students could leave each other inspiring messages, and connect with each other that way. As for The Library Loves You events, there are so many different things the library could do. Since everyone knows animals reduce stress, I’m picturing a partnership with a local animal shelter so that students can pet cats and dogs. Maybe that’s not a great idea. But some people would like it.

Comment on Reflection: Hyperlinked Communities – The Hyperlinked Academic Library by Desiree J https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/02/19/reflection-hyperlinked-communities-the-hyperlinked-academic-library/#comment-11 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:21:50 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=89#comment-11 In reply to Naomi Grace.

This is amazing. It is reassuring to hear that you are doing this and I really hope more academic libraries start doing this. We aren’t just books, we are people who support other people and I think it is important to highlight that fact. Students already have so much to be anxious and worried about, if we can help them in what feels like such a little way, we should. You should take a look at my Emerging Tech Plan when it goes up, I am working on a Mental health campaign at my current college and I think you might find it interesting. I also feel that maybe I should add a food pantry such as this with some personal care items as well. That might be a good addition to my current plan. Thank you so much for sharing what you are doing with your students.

Comment on Reflection: Hyperlinked Communities – The Hyperlinked Academic Library by Naomi Grace https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/02/19/reflection-hyperlinked-communities-the-hyperlinked-academic-library/#comment-10 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 01:04:44 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=89#comment-10 Desiree, it seems that the problems facing students are the same regardless of grade level. I’m a teacher librarian, and at both high schools I worked at I had a food pantry for students, and also kept a selection of personal care items like toothbrushes and feminine care products for students who needed them. I had many students who weren’t getting enough sleep because of all of their obligations, and I’d regularly advise taking a nap in one of the comfy chairs at the back of the library during breaks or study hall. The first time I’d suggest this to a student or offer them food to eat when they were hungry, they were shocked, but I explained that I knew I couldn’t think or do homework if I was tired or hungry either, and that taking care of their body was a priority. I emphasized that I’d rather they take care of those needs first, so that they could do all the other things later. Word got out, and students learned that they could visit me, judgement free. I also had several students who would visit the library as part of their IEP or 504 plans to redirect in times of anxiety. Being able to provide the space and permission for students to tend to all of their needs was one of the most important facets of my work, and I’m glad to know that as they go on to higher education those needs will continue to be met by academic librarians like you!

I am thrilled with what you are doing at your library and kudos for doing it all as a two person team.

“Thinking about hyperlinked communities and the hyperlinked library has really helped me to figure out how to better serve my current community.”

Yes!

The stats you share are sobering but I too take heart in what academic libraries can do to help: food, a place to nap, access to technology, referrals, etc.

Comment on Context Book Review: Poke the Box by Seth Godin by Ashley A. Marshall https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/02/14/context-book-review-poke-the-box/#comment-7 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 03:44:04 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=62#comment-7 Hi, I really enjoyed reading your personal insights on this book and how it directly relates to your work habits, study habits, and life in general. The connection you made between taking initiative in your own life and in the hyperlinked library was well done. Change doesn’t happen until someone decides it needs to and then follows through by acting on it and ignoring the fear of failure. Failure can also lead to great innovation and new ways of understanding.

Comment on Reflection: The Hyperlinked Library Model by Michael Stephens https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/2020/02/06/reflection-the-hyperlinked-library-model/#comment-6 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 18:37:29 +0000 https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/desireejaser/?p=41#comment-6 @desijaser I read the description of your workplace with interest. Perhaps some ideas from this class will find their way to your library?

I appreciate your thoughts one what “hyperlinked” means for our class and how young people respond to technology of all kinds. I agree – we should be teaching critical info literacy skills to combat fake news. I also call these things life literacies. 🙂

I had a similar belief that “hyperlinked” solely referencing tech. I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I also have a B.A. in anthropology, and I’m a big science fiction and fantasy fan. Much respect for reading 400 books in the last two years. I haven’t been reading as much as I used to, especially since I started school. Good luck on achieving your dream! It seems like you are well on your way there.
