Librarianship has always seemed like an amazing career to me, but I spent my entire youth thinking that you had to be a genius in order to become a librarian. My school and public librarians were my idols; they knew everything, were always nice, and guided me toward almost all of my favorite books. Years later, as I approached my college graduation, another librarian encouraged me to pursue an MLIS—I was nervous about my plan to move into the public school system, and her suggestion spurred me to action. I received my Library Science degree in 2004, and have worked as a reference and tech-initiative librarian for the past three years.
 
 
I currently serve as one of three Learning Commons Librarians at Georgia State University. The philosophy behind the position (and department) is the provision of reference services to incoming freshmen and sophomores. My main duties include reference services (in person and online), instruction, and the exploration of technologies that may help improve the library’s relevance in the age of Google-zon. I love my job because it allows me to be around all of my favorite things—the university community, books, and interesting people. It continues to amaze me that I draw a paycheck for activities that I find so entertaining.
 
 
My decision to participate in the Emerging Leaders program stemmed from two motivations: a desire to meet other new librarians, and an interest in learning more about ALA. I don’t feel particularly leader-ish, but wanted to be more involved. I hope that the wiki my team has helped to build will continue to grow, and that it will be a useful resource to the library community at large.
