Bobby Reed · Rose State College
Alongside teaching and technology work, I keep a foot in traditional librarianship at Rose State College -- providing reference and research help, supporting information literacy, and connecting students and community members with the resources they need. It keeps me close to the core public-service work that drew me to libraries in the first place.
A community college library is where a lot of people meet research for the first time. This role is the counterweight to my emerging-tech work: no headsets or 3D printers, just the fundamentals of helping a person find, evaluate, and use good information.
Assist students and community members at the reference point, connecting them with the right resources for their questions.
Help patrons learn to find, evaluate, and use sources -- the durable skills behind good research.
Meet people where they are, at a community college that serves a broad and diverse student body.
This page covers one role. My library-leadership record and the full portfolio live elsewhere on the site.
