Elizabeth Galoozis Editor

Brandon K. West (he/him) is the head of Research Instruction Services and liaison to the social sciences at the State University of New York at Geneseo’s Milne Library. His research interests include examining the intersections of information literacy and online learning, applying instructional design principles to enhance student learning, and addressing LGBTQ+ issues in libraries. He has a MEd in educational technology from Grand Valley State University, a MLS from Texas Woman’s University, and a MS in curriculum development from the University at Albany. He was awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Librarianship in 2019. This is his third volume for ACRL Publications, with the former being Creative Instructional Design: Practical Applications for Librarians (2017) and Reflections on Practitioner Research: A Practical Guide for Information Professionals (2020). His advice is to not take your work home with you as often as possible and make time for hobbies—your job is not a hobby. You will be a better librarian if you allow yourself to decompress in your free time.
