We will focus on your role as colleague and as a professional and will link the concepts of cultural humility to librarianship. We will explore personal identity and culture. We will also examine how culture and identity translate to a deliberate practice of cultural humility in the workplace.

Have you ever heard or used the term "adulting"? It's used to describe those things that grown-ups need to do.... like creating a budget, cooking meals, and paying taxes. When faced with life pressures and need-to-know skills (from money management to workforce know-how to running a household), some emerging adults find that they simply have no idea how to tackle some of these life challenges. It's no coincidence that library programs that teach adulting skills are on the rise!

The notational system will be explored, including its expressiveness and hospitality and how notational elements are used.
