I just completed my first week as a new hire and as an Instructional Services Librarian. I was absolutely blown away by the warmth generating from library people of all kinds. I can't stress enough how great it is to have such a supportive network of librarians who strongly value collaboration. I guess I am also so blown away because I have not had, in all of my years as a student, such an amazing experience with collaboration. I probably was a bit apprehensive about asking for help; but it's natural to consult other librarians 4 their expertise and has already been a source of much growth in just a week! I'm amazed by this culture of community within this profession and the sincere love for helping others that runs parallel to an equally strong culture of isolation and individualism.
