Hi there, my name is Helena Marvin, but you can call me Lena. I am a librarian.
This website built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is based on the MIT Licensed work of Aras Güngöre, to whom I am most grateful for the technical ground work!

The Repository Manager Certification Course was hosted in Berkeley CA, by bepress and was an intensive three-day workshop for institutional repository administrators, where we developed crucial skills and expertise to succeed at institutional repository librarianship and scholarly communication.
The UMSL OA Practicum in a Pandemic Project began in April of 2020 at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis. The pandemic made it impossible for many graduate students to finish or find an in-person library practicum opportunity. I supervised a remote practicum for 14 SISTL students, with 90 or 130 hours of work each, over the course of 2020. The students collaborated to develop, document, enact, and update a workflow for reviewing faculty works and discovering and harvesting Open Access articles.
In September 2022 I was certified in OER Librarianship! To achieve this I wrote a 26 page OER Action Plan available here.
In April 2023 I completed the Coursera Google Project Managment course.
Exploring how OpenAI GPT-3 can be used by librarians in their daily work. We will discuss the capabilities of GPT-3 and the potential for librarians to use it to provide better services for their patrons. We will also explore the ethical implications of using such AI-based technologies and the potential risks of implementing them in library settings. Finally, we will consider the potential for GPT-3 to be used in other areas of library work, such as research and technology support. By the end of the talk, librarians will have a better understanding of how GPT-3 can be used in their daily work and the implications of using it. This abstract was written by AI.
How two librarians formed a team of scholars (without a monetary incentive) to revise, reimagine and turn an old OER textbook into a new OER textbook.

Critical friendship is a form of non-hierarchical developmental relationship in which there is no mentor or protégé. In critical friendship, individuals with similar aims and differing experiences and knowledge aid each other in achieving goals by critically observing each other’s performance and progress. Bonded with trust, critical friends serve as sworn friends who strive and struggle side by side and share joy and pain throughout their journey. Originating from within the field of higher education, the critical friendship methodology has primarily been used by educators to improve their teaching skills, but has been found to be a powerful resource for librarians. While the literature on critical friendship demonstrates its effectiveness when applied to educators' pedagogical strategies, it has not been studied as a means to promote scholarly advancement in higher education nor for its positive impact on professional development for librarians.
