High Praise

The other day, I was introduced by a student as, "the best librarian ever."  I write this not to boast, but to speak of the ways that we touch our students.  I am not sure that I could pinpoint one stupendous thing that could have impressed this student in this way.  I do not recall helping find a very obscure reference or saving the day in any big way.  I do try to listen attentively to my students.  I give them time.  I build relationships with them in a small way.  My goal is that every student that comes to me feels validated and valued.  Perhaps this attention to the person is just as important as any question answered.
