Tribute Post for Fobazi Ettarh - ACRLog With immense sadness, the writers of ACRLog acknowledge the passing of Fobazi Ettarh, library worker and influential LIS scholar. If you are able to contribute, there is a GoFundMe established for Fob...

My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...

Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe

If you can, please help the family of a librarian whose critical scholarship (on #VocationalAwe ) changed this field forever. #funeral #fundraiser #burial #librarianship #libraries

100%. Whenever I see something that even looks vaguely like #vocationalawe I keep reading thinking, "They better be giving @fobettarh.bsky.social credit somewhere in this." If they don't, I comment and do it myself.

Oh no! This is devastating news. I didn't know her well, but after she was on my podcast, we kept up with each other occasionally. A giant in the library field, she was just getting started. My thoughts are with her partner, family and friends. #vocationalawe

I am taking 5 months of uninterrupted long service leave at full pay Aug-Dec this year!
Why have I got such an appalling accrual, I hear you ask? Well indeed, and therein lies the irony of librarian burnout. #VocationalAwe #IdentityAsProfession #WorkLifeBalance #ReframeAndReset
