I wrote about some of the unreasonable requests I've gotten as a candidate for library jobs, and how employers might make the interview process less dehumanizing. acrlog.org/2026/02/05/m... 📚
Just gutted by this news, rest in power Fobazi. Please donate/share.
If you RTd the news of Fobazi's passing, work in LIS, or have ever uttered the phrase "vocational awe", it's time to put your money where your mouth is. We owe her that much at least. Please donate.
