Charleston Hub
@chashub
Charleston Hub is the home of the annual Charleston Conference and Against the Grain for libraries, publishers, and vendors. We're also proud to introduce our latest publication, Katina Magazine: Librarianship Elevated!
"In total, this approach ... normalizes an important truth: not all good ideas—or long-standing programs—should move forward unchanged, at least not now. Prioritization is not a failure of imagination; it is an expression of support."
When you’re running resource-constrained programs, prioritization is paramount. In this Katina Magazine article, Eastern Illinois University Dean Brian Keith outlines his tried-and-true decision-making rubric that prioritizes fairness, clarity, and care.
