About Us

Our mission: iLOVE (instruction Librarians Organization for Virtual Engagement) is a digital space for Iowa’s instruction librarians to share ideas, ask questions, build relationships, collaborate, commiserate, and support each other in our quest to teach the world.

Our objectives:

• Build collaborative relationships (hanging out)
• Participate in professional and moral development (learning stuff)
• Create a supportive environment for instruction librarians (being awesome)

Who are we:

• Becky: Becky is a Reference and Instruction Librarian who was recently described both as Mary Poppins on caffeine and a yoda that jumps off walls. She resides in eastern Iowa IRL, and at Getting to Ta Da online. Oh, and she sometimes tweets library stuff as beckiejean.
• Cara: Cara serves as the Circulation Services Librarian at a largeish land-grant university Iowa and previously served as Coordinator of Information Literacy Instruction and User Experience Librarian at a small university. She forgets to blog at Lib-ing the Good Life. When not in the library, Cara can be found behind her string bass and instagramming pictures of her favorite furry friends.
