As an academic librarian, I spend a majority of my time connecting end users with primary source materials and items created by you, the digital humanist, GIS wizard, archivist, etc.!

I would like to have a discussion about the following topics:

  • What do you want end users to know about searching for the information you’re creating?
  • If you could interact with end users directly (or if you already do!), what would you want them to understand about your work?
  • What tools would you recommend they use to discover the widest range of resources available? (ArchiveGrid? A Google Search? Something else?)
  • If you teach, what do you want librarians to know about helping your students?
  • Is there anything else the end user should know?

I look forward to the discussion!
