Author Information

Amanda Clay Powers is Professor and Dean of Library Services at Mississippi University for Women (MUW). Prior to joining MUW, she spent eleven years at Mississippi State University as a reference librarian and then as head of Research Services. After graduating with a BA from Wellesley College and an MLIS from Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science, she cut her “librarian teeth” working as a processing assistant at MIT’s Dewey Library. Her current research focuses on academic library leadership and applications of social media in academia. Martin Garnar is Dean of the Kraemer Family Library at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. Prior to becoming an administrator, he spent fifteen years as a reference and instruction librarian. His research interests include intellectual freedom, professional ethics, and equity, diversity, and inclusion in libraries; his professional activities reflect a profound inability to say no. A New Yorker by birth, Martin now lives at the base of Pikes Peak with his husband Mark and their adorable miniature dachshunds. Dustin Fife is Director of Library Services at Western Colorado University. Prior to coming to Western, Dustin was Outreach Librarian at Utah Valley University. He also spent six years as Public Library Director for San Juan County, Utah. Dustin has served as President of the Learning Round Table of the American Library Association and President of the Utah Library Association. In 2016, Dustin was recognized as a Library Journal Mover & Shaker. He is currently working on an EdD at the University of Colorado Denver that focuses on access and equity in education.
